Homoglyph Detector

Detect non-Latin Unicode that look like ASCII (anti-phishing)

Detect look-alike Unicode characters (homoglyphs) that could be used in phishing or spoofing attacks — for example, the Cyrillic 'а' (U+0430) visually matches Latin 'a' (U+0061). Paste any URL, username, or text to reveal hidden substitutions and get a normalized ASCII-only version.

How to use

  1. Paste a URL, username, or any text into the input.
  2. The tool flags each character that looks like a Latin letter but is a different Unicode code point (e.g. Cyrillic а vs Latin a).
  3. Review the table showing the suspicious character, its Unicode code point, and the ASCII equivalent it mimics.
  4. Use the normalized output to verify the safe ASCII-only version of the text.

Examples

  • Pasting "аpple.com" where the first 'а' is Cyrillic U+0430 flags 1 suspicious character and shows the safe normalized form "apple.com".
  • A clean ASCII-only string like "google.com" returns a green "No homoglyphs detected" result.
