What is Glyph Guardian?
Glyph Guardian is an open-source initiative to reduce digital deception by making confusing characters easier to detect. Whether it’s a one-letter typo in a password, a fake domain hiding in plain sight, or a phishing link dressed as the real thing — Glyph Guardian helps expose dangerous lookalikes before they cause damage.
Why it matters...
In a world where cybersecurity threats are increasingly visual, clarity is protection. Glyph Guardian identifies problematic glyphs, homoglyph attacks, OCR hazards, and character-level vulnerabilities that most users — and even some software — completely miss.
Who it's for
Built for developers, designers, security teams, accessibility advocates, and anyone who cares about reducing digital harm. If you write, read, design, or secure anything with text — Glyph Guardian was made for you.

Fake Domain Examples
Legit: youtube.com
Fake #1: yоutubе.com (Cyrillic 'у' and 'о')
Fake #2: yᴏutυbᴇ.com (Greek upsilon and Latin small capital 'E')
Most browsers and users can’t detect the
difference visually. Glyph Guardian flags these.
