Description
A Cyrillic а looks exactly like a Latin a, so pаypal.com and paypal.com look identical but are different domains. Paste any link or domain to see what it is really made of: each character and its alphabet, the Punycode it actually resolves to (xn--pypal-4ve.com), and flags for mixed alphabets, invisible zero-width characters and right-to-left tricks. Runs entirely in your browser: no lookup, nothing sent, no signup. The detection library is open source (MIT).

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a compliance & governance tool for Media & entertainment yet.
