Unicode Confusable and Mixed-Script Scanner
Flag mixed writing systems, bidirectional controls and common Cyrillic-to-Latin lookalikes without silently rewriting the original text.
Ready. Your working data stays in this browser.
How it works
The browser inventories Unicode script ranges, invisible direction controls and a conservative map of common visual confusables. It reports positions and code points but never claims perfect spoof detection.
Practical example
In ytsаve, the letter а is Cyrillic U+0430 rather than Latin U+0061; the report identifies its index and mixed-script context.
Validation
The calculation is deterministic and explains validation errors instead of silently changing invalid input.
Privacy boundary
Input and output remain in this tab. Copy and download happen through browser APIs without a server upload.
Result passport
Every run reports its tool mode, timestamp and input/output size so transformed data can be audited.
