This browser-based utility fakes regular characters in text and replaces them with Unicode characters from other alphabets. The text that you paste or enter in the input text area automatically gets all possible characters replaced with Unicode homoglyphs in the output. You can spoof letters, punctuation marks, spaces, and even insert zero-width spaces between individual symbols. Created by encoding gurus from team Browserling.

This online utility spoofs regular Latin letters from the ASCII character set and replaces them with Unicode homoglyphs. As the Unicode character set is much larger than the ASCII character set, each ASCII symbol has many similar-looking Unicode symbols. In addition to the English alphabet, Unicode contains many other alphabets, such as Cyrillic, Turkish, and Arabic. These writing systems include graphemes that are visually very similar to English letters. Although these letters are visually similar, they have different code points and are located in different Unicode blocks. Such letters are called homographs. For example, the Latin letter H (ha), the Cyrillic letter Н (en), and the Greek letter Η (eta) are practically indistinguishable from each other but they have different code points: Latin H has the code point U+0048, Cyrillic Н has the code point U+041D, and Greek Η has the code point U+0397. Besides letters, homoglyphs can also be other symbols. For example, the usual exclamation point "!" with code position U+0021 matches retroflex click symbol "ǃ" with code position U+01C3. Not all letters have homographs. In this tool, you can replace more than fifteen letters with homographs. Using the option "Spoof Punctuation" you can also spoof exclamation marks (U+0021 → U+01C3), dots (U+002E → U+2024), commas (U+002C → U+201A), semicolons (U+003B → U+037E), and hyphens (U+002D → U+2010). With the "Spoof Spaces" option activated, regular spaces (U+0020) get replaced with four-per-em spaces (U+2005). For maximum text obfuscation, use the "Insert Zero-width Spaces" option, which adds non-breaking spaces of zero length between all characters in the text (and breaking spaces of zero length after spoofed spaces, if they are used). To quickly identify homoglyphs, enable the option "Preview Spoof", which will only display the spoofed characters. All other characters will be shown as ◌. And if you have a spoofed text to convert it back to clean text, then you can use our Unspoof Unicode Text tool.

At first glance, it seems that this example has the same input and output but actually they are different. In the input Carl Sandburg quote, we replaced seven letters with visually similar but different letters from the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets. Instead of the regular Latin letters 'N', 'o', 'i', 'a', 'p', 'e', 's', we used Unicode homoglyphs 'Ν', 'о', 'і', 'а', 'р', 'е', 'ѕ', which look exactly the same but are completely different symbols with different code points.
This example enables all possible options to enhance the spoofing effect. Not only does it replace letters with Unicode homographs but also exclamation marks, commas, and dots. This is done by the "Spoof Punctuation" option. The "Spoof Spaces" option replaces regular spaces with four-per-em spaces. Additionally, it inserts invisible spaces of zero with after each Unicode character via the "Insert Zero-width Spaces" option. These spaces are hard to detect using regular expressions and string matching algorithms so they increase the probability that your text won't be matched by filters.
In this example, we activate the "Preview Spoof" option to see all Unicode homoglyphs in the text. This option shows only the fake characters and replaces the regular characters with the '◌' symbol. Thus, we see that the letters 'Ѕ', 'а', 'ѕ', 'с', 'і', 'е', 'о' as well as spaces and the dot symbol are fake characters.
