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…

A homoglyph is a symbol that has a similar form to another symbol. The Unicode Standard is a utopian masterplan where each archetypical symbol is given its own space in an immense skeletal structure reaching for the sky. The FAQ says: “Unicode covers all the characters for all the writing systems of the world, modern and ancient.” At the time of writing, 110,182 symbols are encoded. This offers possibilities for creative users wishing to beautify their writing or avoid surveillance…

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/
