Fingerprinting data to find when it's been copy-pasted is a neat application for invisible characters!
I've also found a lot of identical characters when handling Chinese text. Note that Google Translate does not handle these correctly.

It's about the Kangxi Radicals Unicode block, compared the CJK characters block. If you want me to write a blog post about it, please comment and I'll get around to it.
- kurthr 9y agoIt's interesting to me, because I've seen this effect (while copy pasting) and wondered why... if I hadn't been translating I would never have noticed. Even though some are noticeably different: ⿌ 黾
- peterburkimsher 9y agoThanks for the encouragement - I'll write that blog post when I get a chance! 黾 is the simplified version of ⿌. (In http://pingtype.github.io http://pingtype.github.io click Advanced > Regional, paste into the Simplified text box, then click "Simplified to Traditional")
- lifthrasiir 9y agoI really like the fact that ⼚/⺁ and ⽰/⺬ and so on are separately encoded in a single block (technically, though, they aren't).
