saywhat

💬 a library that replaces alphabetical characters with similarly shaped symbols

If you are interesting in using this in the browser please make sure to set <meta charset="utf-8">.

For the best experience encode and decode using this library to ensure properly constructed strings. Javascript has a unicode problem and it can be solved with tooling!

Usage

encode

const SayWhat = require('saywhat');
SayWhat.encode('hello'); // h👌ll👩🏼‍🌾

decode

const SayWhat = require('saywhat');
SayWhat.decode('h👌ll👩🏼‍🌾'); // hello

It works with numbers and letters!

const SayWhat = require('saywhat');
SayWhat.encode('12345 I see you'); // 123🕵️‍♀️5 ↔️ 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦📑👁 y👩🏻‍🚒u
SayWhat.decode('123🕵️‍♀️5 ↔️ 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦📑👁 y👩🏻‍🚒u'); // 12345 i see you

What is this?

This takes all known unicode characters and compares them against emojis and other symbols to find which emojis or characters most look alike. So for example if you wanted to see what hello would look like in encoded it might generate h👌ll👩🏼‍🌾.
