Text Unicode
by Duo Data Utilities in Security & trust
Analyse a string at the Unicode level: apply NFC, NFD, NFKC or NFKD, report which forms it is already in, list the scripts present (all Unicode scripts), and flag confusable and homoglyph characters — Cyrillic а in a Latin word, fullwidth or mathematical look-alikes, all-look-alike words — plus zero-width joiners, bidirectional overrides, invisible and blank characters. Returns per-character detail with code points, names and the ASCII character each imitates.
