Before I found this on a questionable websites that had content not to share so I did not know how to actually show this. Now I actually found a site that generates these text and as you can see the profanity filter does not filter the text.

Here is proof of some minor swears. Damn you really pissed me off. π”‡π”žπ”ͺ𝔫 𝔢𝔬𝔲 π”―π”’π”žπ”©π”©π”Ά 𝔭𝔦𝔰𝔰𝔒𝔑 π”ͺ𝔒 𝔬𝔣𝔣.

Here is the link to the generators sites. https://lingojam.com/FancyTextGenerator https://tools.picsart.com/text/font-generator/

Thanks for finding a real example to look at. Unfortunately since these are characters that just look like others, its not straight-forward to filter them. It may be possible to come up with a map to convert them to the "standard" characters and then filter like normal, but I don't think its going to be a very friendly process resource-wise. I am pretty sure it won't be on by default, but I'll work on it a bit and see how it goes.

I though it was a mapping issue and I would have thought it would be more proccesor intense. The thing is more people are using it especially on social media websites. Anyway do what you have to do. Your extension is great.
