Homoglyph/Homograph Generator

A homoglyph is a character visually similar to another, apparently close and interchangeable, it is in fact very different.

The text is understandable to a human but not to a computer, because the numerical encoding of the letter O gives it properties distinct from the number 0.

The Unicode character table describes many glyphs that closely resemble common letters of the Latin alphabet.

Homographs are words that are visually normal, but use homoglyphs as letters.

A human might not notice the difference but a machine will interpret them distinctly, which can be problematic, especially in contexts such as entering passwords or URLs.

Another use is related to leet speak in which the characters 0, 1 or 5 are used to represent the letters O, I or S respectively.

Homographs can be used to fool computer robots, such as in captchas or for SEO.

It is also a technique used by spammers to get past keyword-based email filters.

Make a Copy/Paste in a search engine like Google. Without homograph: dCode here (lots of results) and with homograph: ԁϹоԁе here (only one result: this page)

Homoglyph is only one character, an homograph is a word made of some homoglyphs.

The internationalized domain name (IDN) homograph attack is a technique used by malicious people to impersonate a website.

With the internationalization of domain names, it is now possible to register an address with homoglyphs like ԁcоԁе.fr (and therefore create a similar or different website)
