Extension summary
Homoglyphi.cc is a tool for creating Unicode-calligraphy. Write text into any website, run the extension and see the familiar letters shapeshift into alien, but intelligible, glyphs.
Works with Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, YouTube, Gmail and basically any other site you can imagine…

Note: Homoglyphi.cc use characters from the full range of the Unicode Standard. The actual display depends on having the appropriate fonts installed. For instant full coverage we recommend Code2000 by James Kass, available from here: http://www.alanwood.net/downloads/
