Could you include uppercase variants as well? Or are they the same? Thanks!

@FxllenCode this list was exhaustive enough for my purposes at the time. There's a much more exhaustive list here: https://github.com/codebox/homoglyph/blob/master/raw_data/chars.txt

Thanks a lot, mate. This was perfect for a little troll on an image board. Someone decided, users are not allowed to write "[deleted]" as a comment. I thought, taking this joke from me is dumb and if it's dumb, the person definitely will not be aware of such characters xD

I think it's dumb, because either way the result is the same, people will wonder what was written there originally :D

Ooooh, thanks for the list! My original list was compiled for my then 9-year old daughter's first webapp: https://stevenacoffman.github.io/homoglyphs/

so she and her friends could type funny looking messages to one another. As a result, she wanted only similar rather than identical symbols.

@Vulcanraven91 Interesting! How did you perform the similarity sort? Just personal opinion, or was there an algorithm?

Brainbuster888 commented Jan 27, 2025

As you can see here wikipedia․org I wanted to cite sources but did not want the site preview to take up extra space. You'll find you are unable to click the link to Wikipedia because I've hacked your mouse.†

† Just kidding, I didn't hack your mouse. Instead of a period, I used a unicode character which looks identical to the period
bing.com
bing․com
You can click only the first one. Also, as I'm typing this I can see the second one is underlined red, signifying a misspelling.

My motivation in finding a period twin: I wanted to cite sources in a group chat while being courteous to readers (so my comment takes up less space). But you cd use this for trolling as well.

Personal opinion, lowercase to uppercase, size and as last emoji, what are your thoughts, maybe we should sort them by unicode code?

Currently I play around with similar \ and space characters under Windows, you can do funny stuff.
like: "E:\⧵"
