Meet Violet

The wicked enchanted non-US keyboard character hunter.

Violet, The Special Character Finder, is your text’s tiny detective and secret weapon for clean, bug-free code - paste in anything (CSV exports, Excel dumps, vendor lists, copy-pasted emails, database content, you name it) and it instantly scans for characters that aren’t on a normal US keyboard, then shows you exactly which sneaky troublemakers are hiding, how many times they appear, which lines contain them, and highlights each one in violet so they’re impossible to miss.

Deep inside your copied spreadsheets...
beneath vendor exports...
hiding between innocent looking letters...

lurk strange creatures: ¬ Æ √ ™ “ ” ‘ ’ – - ... ± ≠ ≤ ≥ µ Ω π € Â Ã â £ ¥ ¢ Α Β Ο С

They slip past your eyes...
break your SQL...
crash your PHP...
and laugh while you debug for two hours.

That’s when Violet awakens.
She sniffs the bytes.
She hunts the Unicode.
She devours the weird.

🗡 What Violet Does

Highlights every non-keyboard character in violet glow
Counts how many of each creature exist
Shows the exact line they’re hiding on
Reveals their true identity (Unicode codepoint like U+00AC)
Keeps your output safe and escaped

💥 Why Developers Love Her

Most bugs aren’t logic problems.

They’re invisible text monsters.

CSV imports fail
MySQL joins don’t match
Filters miss rows
Web pages render “???”
Data mysteriously “doesn’t equal itself”

Instead of guessing... Violet points directly at the culprit and says:

“There. Line 155. That Æ thing. Fix it.”
