@suparchie Do you mean... the domains or the site itself?
Unicode domains are indexed and displayed correctly -- I think? -- by google, but you have to be careful if you're using both a "regular" domain and a unicode domain. Basically, if they share content, google really wants to combine them into a single canonical site. In most cases, that's going to be the "regular" domain, since that probably gets better usage.
As far as I can tell, outside of https://i❤️.ws, not too many sites have gone all in on a unicode / idn domain. Most people use them for forwarding, since they don't want the address to display in punycode... but even that's complicated, since urls like https://ツ.ws don't display as punycode in Chrome, at least not for now.
@suparchie Hey... just to follow up, with a few thoughts. I misspoke when I said that not too many sites have gone all in on IDN - there are actually tons of them, I just don't think about it because I'm an English speaker. There are, like, all these other languages out there... ya know?
In general, though, IDN / Unicode domains are handled well by all the search engines. I've been experimenting pretty heavily with https://i❤️.ws, but here are the results of my last look at emoji search results:

I don't have a ton of good examples to show off since this is all kind of dubious, but since emoji domains are the main focus of my efforts, do a google search for "emoji domains" and you'll see what the search results look like....
@emoji_domains@jonroig Sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to your previous response! What a fantastic follow-up -- thank you so much. I'm really interested in using a unicode domain for an upcoming project (to sort of define it) but was holding off for SEO reasons. Thanks for such a through reply dude hugely appreciated.
🙏
Discovered this site and it looks amazing, nice idea. I never thought there would be so many available domains with only one character, even if they are with international symbols.
@w Hey... thanks! It's a deeply silly and stupid project, but I learned a lot doing it. Most of that research I plowed back into my "main" side gig, i❤️.ws. But... you know... once you start going down a rabbit hole with this unicode stuff, you end up in some weird places.

For the right person, 𐋈.dog is the best domain of all time.
Pros:Probably the best place to buy a single character unicode domain anywhere on the Internet.
Cons:No one really wants single character unicode domains.
