Convert fancy/artistic unicode text to ASCII
问题 I have a unicode string like "𝖙𝖍𝖚𝖌 𝖑𝖎𝖋𝖊" and would like to convert it to the ASCII form "thug life". I know I can achieve this in Python by import unidecode print(unidecode.unidecode('𝖙𝖍𝖚𝖌 𝖑𝖎𝖋𝖊')) // thug life However, this would asciify also other unicode characters (such as Chinese/Japanese characters, emojis, accented characters, etc.), which I want to preserve. Is there a way to detect these type of "artistic" unicode characters? Some more examples: 𝓽𝓱𝓾𝓰 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮 𝓉𝒽𝓊𝑔 𝓁𝒾𝒻𝑒 𝕥𝕙𝕦𝕘 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖 thug life
