Utility for encoding and decoding text using zero-width characters.
Subject text is first converted to its binary representation (e.g. "foo" -> "011001100110111101101111"), then each digit is replaced with a zero-width character (specifically: U+200B
and U+200C
). Decoding is simply the inverse of the same flow of operations.
As a module:
use zw;
// ...
let encoded = zw::encode("Hello");
let decoded = zw::decode(&encoded);
As a CLI tool:
zw [-e|--encode] [-d|--decode] [input]
If both -e
and -d
flags are omitted then conversion direction is guessed based on the first interpreted character.
Reads from stdin
if an input string isn't provided in its arguments.
# Shell-ish
zw "Hello" > encoded.txt
cat encoded.txt | zw > decoded.txt
# MacOS clipboard encoding
pbpaste | zw | pbcopy
