      ]
    }
  }
}

Contributing

Contributions welcome! Areas to expand:

• More cipher algorithms (Vigenère, Rail Fence, Playfair)
• Fantasy language encodings (Elvish, Klingon, etc.)
• Ancient scripts (Runes, Hieroglyphics)
• Additional Unicode styles
• Batch encoding/decoding operations

Examples in Action

Hiding Messages

# Create invisible message
hidden = encode_zero_width(text="TOP SECRET")
visible = f"This is a normal message{hidden}"
# Looks like: "This is a normal message"
# But contains hidden text!

# Decode it
decode_zero_width(encoded_text=hidden)
# Returns: "TOP SECRET"

Text Styling

# Create stylized text for social media
normal = "AWESOME"
bubble = encode_bubble_text(text=normal)      # ⒶⓌⒺⓈⓄⓂⒺ
wide = encode_fullwidth(text=normal)          # ＡＷＥＳＯＭＥ
zalgo = encode_zalgo(text=normal)             # A̴W̸E̵S̶O̴M̵E̸
strike = encode_strikethrough(text=normal)    # A̶W̶E̶S̶O̶M̶E̶
underline = encode_underline(text=normal)     # A̲W̲E̲S̲O̲M̲E̲
upside = encode_upside_down(text=normal)      # ƎWOSƎפ∀

Classic Ciphers

# Encode a message with Caesar cipher
message = "Meet at the park"
encoded = encode_caesar(text=message, shift=7)
# Returns: "Tlla ha aol whyr"

# Decode it
decode_caesar(text=encoded, shift=7)
# Returns: "Meet at the park"
