Fingerprinting data to find when it's been copy-pasted is a neat application for invisible characters! I've also found a lot of identical characters when handling Chinese text. Note that Google Translate does not handle these correctly. https://github.com/pingtype/pingtype.github.io/blob/master/r... It's about the Kangxi Radicals Unicode block, compared the CJK characters block. If you want me to write a blog post about it, please comment and I'll get around to it.
