Meet Violet

The wicked enchanted non-US keyboard character hunter.

Deep inside your copied spreadsheets…
beneath vendor exports…
hiding between innocent looking letters…

lurk strange creatures: ¬ Æ √ ™ “ ” ‘ ’ – - … ± ≠ ≤ ≥ µ Ω π € Â Ã â £ ¥ ¢ Α Β Ο С

They slip past your eyes…
break your SQL…
crash your PHP…
and laugh while you debug for two hours.

That’s when Violet awakens.
She sniffs the bytes.
She hunts the Unicode.
She devours the weird.
🗡 What Violet Does
  • Highlights every non-keyboard character in violet glow
  • Counts how many of each creature exist
  • Shows the exact line they’re hiding on
  • Reveals their true identity (Unicode codepoint like U+00AC)
  • Keeps your output safe and escaped
💥 Why Developers Love Her

Most bugs aren’t logic problems.

They’re invisible text monsters.

  • CSV imports fail
  • MySQL joins don’t match
  • Filters miss rows
  • Web pages render “???”
  • Data mysteriously “doesn’t equal itself”
Instead of guessing… Violet points directly at the culprit and says:

“There. Line 155. That Æ thing. Fix it.”
