- knolax 7y agoIsn't the homoglyph the IPA "ɑ" character used in place of Basic Latin "a"? The homoglyph URL attack also has some downsides because Unicode is only supported for domains through an extension system, most browsers will convert the above to "xn--chse-r5b.com" after you visit the link.
