Confusables The Atlas has a confusion cabinet — ⚕ against ☤ , the heart that is not a heart — assembled one entry at a time. Unicode maintains the same thing at scale and for a harder reason: characters that look alike can be used to forge a domain name, so the Consortium publishes the sets that are visually indistinguishable.
Every character in a row below renders as the same shape. They come from different scripts, carry different meanings, and are different characters. 4,255 mappings were scanned; 160 sets have at least three members from two or more scripts, and the 48 most script-diverse are shown, widest first.
