What does this tool do?
Characters such as the Cyrillic “а” and “о” look the same as Latin letters but are different code points. The tool shows what a spoofed word looks like — useful for testing filters, learning about homograph attacks and building security-awareness examples. Do not use it to impersonate anyone.
