borkify is a small perl script that turns ASCII text into similar
looking but goofily chosen characters. Not very useful, though the
reverse mode (borkify -r) reverses the process... useful for getting
mostly useful ASCII out of accented "high-bit" text.
% echo "This is really goofy." | borkify
Ṯĥǐϟ îﺉ ṟêåļłỹ ǥŏõḟý∙
% echo "Jöe Smíth uses “annoying smart quotes”" | borkify -r
Joe Smith uses "annoying smart quotes"
It's also a node module that does the same:
{ toASCII, fromASCII } = require 'borkify'
console.log toASCII 'Hérè ïs søme idiot’s text.'
# ==> Here is some idiot's text.
console.log fromASCII "Let's make this look really horrible."
