Generate Alternative Unicode Representations of A - Z

Going from A to Z in different ways. It will translate Latin ASCII characters to funky Unicode ones.

Setup

Make sure you have Ruby installed and installing gems works properly. Then do:

$ gem install az

Usage

Pass the string to convert to az:

From CLI

$ az "character.construction" --to bold
# 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫.𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

You can also directly copy to your system clipboard using the --copy option

To see a list of all fonts included, run: $ az --fonts

From Ruby

require "az/kernel_method"
az "character.construction", :fraktur
# => "𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖊𝖗.𝖈𝖔𝖓𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖚𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓"

Included Fonts

Please note: Be sure to understand that the output from az does not change the real font, but displays these special "font" codepoints within the actual font. Also note that assistive technology might be unable to properly interpret these.
