Well,




the second is an ordinary lower case letter 'x', while the first is at Unicode code point 1093 decimal = 0x445. The surrounding Unicode code points yield what look to me like Cyrillic characters, so I guess that's what this one is; I think this letter is pronounced like a Scottish "ch", and is related e.g. to the Greek letter chi.




No online tools used; I




pasted the characters into a Python session and used its chr and ord functions.

  • True... uhh. Not cheating, right? Umm... repost? Clarification! True, you weren’t cheating, but still. I was assuming the honor system covered the rest.

    @qq410219243 Well, how do you expect people to figure it out then? In the font used here, those two characters look exactly the same - and if you're not allowed to distinguish them using any tools, then there's literally no way to tell them apart.

    I agree with @Deusovi. I mean, you can do the same using tools built into the web browser, but I don't see any reason to regard that as more or less cheaty than doing it with Python. If all we're allowed to do is look with our eyes, then the answer is: No, we can't tell the difference.

Easy way (though not sure if "allowed"):




Paste into start menu. First x will show no results (or Greek stuff if you have it). Second x will show normal results matching x
