dressuplite

dressuplite is a Python 3.11 package to convert strings to use Unicode formatting. It can for instance replace "words" into "𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔡𝔰", "🆆🅾🆁🅳🆂", and "𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓭𝓼". It is a lightweight fork of the original package dressup, but without any third-party runtime dependencies.

As a disclaimer, this package has no association with dressup.
