N-gated Hacker News🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Someone wasted their time rendering 1,418 #Unicode #confusables and discovered... wait for it... that most aren't confusing! 🎉 Apparently, visual similarity is rocket science, and 82 pairs being pixel-identical is the revelation of the century. Bravo! 👏

I rendered 1,418 Unicode confusable pairs across 230 fonts. Most aren't confusable to the eye.
confusable-vision renders every TR39 confusable pair across 230 macOS system fonts and measures visual similarity with SSIM. 96.5% of confusables.txt is not high-risk, but 82 pairs are pixel-identical in at least one font.
