# unhomoglyph
[](https://travis-ci.org/nodeca/unhomoglyph)
[](https://www.npmjs.org/package/unhomoglyph)
> Replace all homoglyphs with base characters. Useful to detect similar strings.
For example, to prohibit register similar looking nicknames at websites.
Data source - [Recommended confusable mapping for IDN](http://www.unicode.org/Public/security/latest/confusables.txt), v13.0.0.
__Note!__ Text after transform is NOT intended be read by humans. For example,
`m` will be transformed to `r` + `n`. Goal is to compare 2 strings after
transform, to check if sources looks similar or not. If sources look similar,
then transformed strings are equal.
## Install
```bash
npm install unhomoglyph --save
```
## Example
```js
const unhomoglyph = require('unhomoglyph');
console.log(unhomoglyph('AΑАᎪᗅᴀꓮ')); // => AAAAAAA
console.log(unhomoglyph('m')); // => rn (r + n)
//
// Compare nicknames
//
const username1 = 'm';
const username2 = 'rn';
if (unhomoglyph(username1) === unhomoglyph(username2)) {
console.log(`"${username1}" and "${username2} look similar`);
}
```
## Update
```bash
npm run update
```
