Replace a semicolon (;) with a greek question mark (;) in your friend's C# code and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax error — Peter Ritchie (@peterritchie) November 16, 2014 In recent times, a vicious beast known only as the "Unicode troll" has risen from the abyss, wielding his fearsome tool, the Unicode homoglyph. Looking nearly identical to common ASCII characters, the homoglyphs hide in code, lying in wait for an unsuspecting programmer to devour whole without warning. Don't be the next victim. Enable `unicode-troll-stopper-mode' and force these vicious beasts from the shadows in which they lurk. (add-hook 'some-major-mode-hook #'unicode-troll-stopper-mode)
