What is a fake character checker?

A fake character checker scans text for fake or look-alike characters — homoglyphs like a Cyrillic “а” disguised as a Latin “a”, stacked combining marks, and other non-ASCII code points. Snabbit lists each flagged character with its Unicode value and the letter it imitates. It runs in your browser, so the text you scan is never uploaded.

How to use the Fake Character Checker

1 Paste the text you want to scan into the input.
2 The report lists any fake or look-alike characters.
3 Each entry shows the Unicode value and look-alike.
4 Copy the report or fix the flagged characters.

What you can use it for

Spotting homoglyph spoofing in usernames or links.
Auditing text pasted from a fancy-font generator.
Checking that an identifier is plain ASCII.
Reviewing suspicious messages for disguised letters.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a “fake” character?

Any non-ASCII character is flagged. Known homoglyphs are matched to the ASCII letter they imitate; combining marks and other non-ASCII code points are listed separately.

Why would text contain look-alike characters?

Fancy-text generators and some spoofing or phishing attempts swap normal letters for Unicode look-alikes. Checking helps you spot disguised characters in names, links and usernames.

Does a clean result mean the text is safe?

A clean result means every character is plain ASCII. It is a strong signal, but always combine it with your own judgement for security-sensitive checks.
