Duplicate characters in Unicode:

This should be clearly distinguished from Unicode characters that are rendered as identical glyphs or near-identical glyphs (homoglyphs), either because they are historically cognate (such as Greek Η vs. Latin H) or because of coincidental similarity (such as Greek Ρ vs. Latin P, or Greek Η vs. Cyrillic Н, or the following homoglyph septuplet: astronomical symbol for "Sun" , "circled dot operator" , the Gothic letter 𐍈, the IPA symbol for a bilabial click ʘ, the Osage letter 𐓃, the Tifinagh letter ⵙ, and the archaic Cyrillic letter ).

I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.

— Abraham Lincoln, Letter to Allen N. Ford, August 11, 1846
