About Unfake Text Tool
The Unfake Text tool is designed to sanitize and restore text that has been obfuscated with "homoglyphs" or "confusables". These are characters from different alphabets (like Cyrillic or Greek) that look identical or very similar to Latin characters.
Why use this tool?
- Security Verification: Detect phishing URLs that use look-alike characters to spoof legitimate domains (IDN Homograph Attacks).
- Data Cleaning: Normalize text data scraped from sources that use obfuscation to bypass filters.
- Content Restoration: Convert "styled" or "fancy" text back to plain, readable, and searchable ASCII text.
How it works
This tool scans your input for known confusables from various unicode blocks (Cyrillic, Greek, etc.) and replaces them with their closest Latin equivalents. It runs entirely in your browser for privacy and speed.
