    Did one of your annoying nerdy friends hide some weird unicode in a message they sent to you? Copy/paste into this site to see exactly what dickery they’re up to:

    I say this because I’m that annoying friend that likes to slip a unicode right-to-left character in just to see what happens.

      Can you give an example of the kind of dickery one might get up to by hiding Unicode in a message? I’m not sure I understand what this is for

        You can reverse the way characters display with this unicode character. U+202E. ‮Example. You can use this to make users think that a file has a different exnetion that it really has. Example: image.‮gnp.exe This example actually has the extension.exe so it is a executable but looks like it is a PNG.
