Character Set

The homoglyph character set is based off of:

• Manually browsing through the Unicode dataset for visually similar characters
• Examining the suggestions offered by the internal search function that uses the Unicode normalization mechanism
• Manually visually inspecting results in various common operating systems and fonts

Mimic distinguishes between "forward" and "reverse" character eligibility. A "forward" character is considered mostly viable as a homoglyph. A "reverse" character has been found to fail rendering in some way in one or more environments, but is still included in the application to detect it during --check or correct it during --reverse.

Current homoglyph set

This is the output of mimic -l, shown in your browser's fixed-width font if you are reading the wiki content in Github:
