This browser-based utility converts fancy Unicode letters back to regular letters. All the letter-like characters that you paste or enter in the text area as the input automatically get converted to simple English letters in the output. It normalizes several dozen various Unicode fonts as well as Emoji letters and mirror characters. You can also adjust the case of normalized letters and also ignore certain Unicode letters from being converted. Created by encoding gurus from team Browserling.
This online web application normalizes Unicode letters. It converts glyphs from different Unicode scripts into regular Latin letters. It works with a wide variety of fonts, such as bold (𝐚, 𝐛, 𝐜), monospace (𝚊, 𝚋, 𝚌), sans-serif (𝖺, 𝖻, 𝖼), fullwidth (a, b, c), as well as with emoji letters, such as 🅰, 🅱, or 🅿. It can also recognize Unicode characters that are similar in shape to letters and turn them into these letters. For example, the north indic quantity mark "꠹" is converted to the 7-bit ASCII letter "S" and the copyright sign "©" is converted to the regular letter "C". It can also replace typographical ligatures with two or more letter strings. The ligature is a combination of several graphemes that forms a single glyph. For example, the character "Æ", used in the Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic languages, decomposes into the string "AE", and the character "œ", used in French, decomposes into the string "oe". It can normalize control pictures, for example, "␀" as "NUL" or "␛" as "ESC", and also decode Unicode words, for example, "🆒" as "COOL" or "🆘" as "SOS". Additionally, this program can clear letters from diacritical marks and combining characters, as well as remove Zalgo deformations from the text. It can also identify spoofed letters and replace them with ASCII symbols. Spoofed letters look exactly the same as regular letters but they are from different Unicode blocks. For example, Ukrainian letter Н looks the same as English letter H but they are different letters in different parts of the Unicode table. Some Unicode fonts consist only of uppercase letters, some only of lowercase letters, and some of mixed case. For each Unicode character, this tool automatically determines its case and replaces it with the ASCII letter of the corresponding case. You can quickly change the case to small, large, or true (standard capitalization of sentences), using simple radio button options. You can also preserve Unicode glyphs for certain letters if you enter them in the ignore letters options field.
In this example, we convert a fancy Unicode phrase into plain ASCII text. The input text consists of more than twenty different fonts. Some letters use various diacritics and some other letters have even been attacked by Zalgo. The app first removes all diacritics and combining characters and then for each cleaned Unicode letter it finds its corresponding Latin block letter. The input Unicode glyphs have a mixed case, some are uppercase and some are lowercase. As the automatic case detection mode is selected, the application returns each letter in its original case.
In this example, the tool does something that can't be seen with the unaided eye. The input and output look exactly the same but the truth is, they are completely different. In the input, fake letters that belong to the Cyrillic font block are used (code point range from U+0400 to U+04FF). In the output, they are cleaned and we get letters from the English character set (code point range from U+000 to U+007F). Thus, the utility easily identified and normalized spoofed text.
In this example, we enter a Pablo Picasso quote, which consists of many different Unicode glyphs, accents, combining characters, and ligatures. We clear all the letters from diacritical marks, split the ligatures, and turn them into regular letters. We also demonstrate the ignore option and make two exceptions – we keep the original shape of the Unicode glyph "🅿" and ligature "🆋". This makes the author's signature more original. We also activate the true case option so that the sentence starts with a capital letter.
