Unicode::Confusable

by Jan Lelis —

Unicode::Confusable.confusable? "ℜ𝘂ᖯʏ", "Ruby" # => true

There are many Unicode characters that look very similar or even the same, but are represented by different codepoints. For example, there is no visual difference between some latin and cyrillic letters: “C” vs “С”. The unicode-confusable gem can be used to compare if two strings look very similar.
