John Sutherland a fellow Edinburgh Refresher has written a fantastic little guide on:
How-to register an International Domain Name →
I had been meaning to look into this after seeing Gruber's fantastic http://✪df.ws short URL. Thanks to John's how-to guide I picked up http://ɯɐs.com/. Let me know what you nab.

Thanks for the heads up!
For a while now I have been after a short URL that I could use for blog post pimping and retweets. This solution fits the bill perfectly as it never needs to be typed.
[edit: Just found a negative – doesn’t work with textile :) ]

Just picked up ɹǝpuɐz.com which points to my blog. I love it and its geekiness, my wife though, thinks otherwise!

Sam, thanks for the linkage, who’d have thought others would actually register upside-down domain names ;)

I snapped up aaron™.co.uk using this technique a couple of days ago. Was quite disappointed that it doesn't seem to work for the ♥ character though.
