Invisible spaces
Non-breaking spaces, zero-width spaces, BOMs, and other quiet saboteurs that make a value look normal while breaking matches and comparisons.
Violet’s Uniques
Every strange little character gets brought into the light.
Paste CSV exports, Excel dumps, vendor lists, copied email text, SQL fragments, or whole paragraphs. Violet will show you exactly which characters exist — including the invisible, sneaky, and copy/paste-born troublemakers.
UTF-8 safe
Sortable results
Friendly explanations
Optional CR/LF ignore
Tip: If you’re pasting normal paragraphs, check Ignore CR/LF so line breaks don’t ruin your all clean victory.
Scan your text
Paste → Scan → Slay
Keep the actual work area near the top. Paste the text, choose the filters and sort order, and let Violet census the characters.
Violet’s rule
Some problems hide in plain sight. Others require a census.
What Violet usually catches
The usual ghosts
Smart punctuation
Curly quotes, em dashes, en dashes, and other typography stowaways that often sneak in through copy/paste.
Unexpected alphabets
Cyrillic or Greek characters that resemble Latin letters, math symbols, or other lookalikes that can fool the eye and derail logic.
