This is similar to the Unicode Consortium's [confusables.txt](http://www.unicode.org/Public/security/8.0.0/confusables.txt) with some signficant differences. Confusables.txt lists character pairs that are visually identical or nearly identical, for example, Latin "A" and Greek "Α" (alpha). This list is much broader, including pairs that merely look similar, for example, "S" and "$". Another difference is that this list only includes letters and punctuation. It does not include symbols, emoji, or graphical elements. ## Installation Using composer: -- To view, visit https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/404874 To unsubscribe, visit https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/settings Gerrit-MessageType: merged Gerrit-Change-Id: Ie538261b8cdc905c0db5eb632e34144bc387e37b Gerrit-PatchSet: 1 Gerrit-Project: mediawiki/libs/Equivset Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Owner: Kaldari <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Kaldari <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: jenkins-bot <> _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-commits mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-commits
