Confusables

This library allows you to easily remove confusables from a string.

Confusables is currently in early development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable until version 1.0.0.

Installation

yarn add confusables

npm install confusables

Usage

const { remove, obfuscate } = require('confusables');

const weirdString = 'Ἢἕļľᦞ ш٥ṟｌᑰ! Hello World!';

const normalString = remove(weirdString);

console.log(normalString); // Hello World! Hello World!

What are confusables?

Confusable characters are those that may be confused with others (in some common UI fonts), such as the Latin letter "o" and the Greek letter omicron "ο". Fonts make a difference: for example, the Hebrew character "ס" looks confusingly similar to "o" in some fonts (such as Arial Hebrew), but not in others.
