Depending on context it may not actually mean "F". Screen readers are not yet capable of fully understanding the meaning behind the text they are reading.
If for example someone uses this to write a mathematical formula, having a screen reader says "F" changes the entire meaning.
Could this be done, absolutely, but it is something to be aware of and is something I noticed on Twitter where blind users were complaining that they were unable to "read" Twitter messages using this, thereby making them second class citizens all over again.
- whatshisface 8y agoIf I were to write a math formula in ASCII, it would probably have strings of multiplied variables that would be indistinguishable from English words to a screenreader that didn't know anything about meaning. The only way it would know to sound out the letters is if they had spaces or asterisks between them. The additional glyphs would do nothing to change this.
