Return the text with invisible characters, bidi controls, tag characters and control characters removed and unusual spaces turned into normal spaces. By default ZWJ/ZWNJ/VS16 are kept inside emoji sequences, between letters of joining scripts (Arabic, Persian) and after an Indic virama (keep_joiners=true); strict=true removes them everywhere. Optional: map lookalike letters to Latin (lookalikes) and apply NFKC normalisation (nfkc). Read-only. Same engine as GET /api/clean.
Text to inspect (up to 2000 UTF-16 code units).
Apply Unicode NFKC first (fullwidth and math letters → plain).
Turn unusual spaces into a normal space.
Strict mode: remove every joiner and variation selector, even in emoji and Persian/Indic text (overrides keep_joiners).
Map lookalike letters (e.g. Cyrillic а) to Latin. Changes legitimate non-Latin text too.
Keep ZWJ/ZWNJ/VS16 where they are legitimate: emoji ZWJ sequences and VS16 emoji presentation, between letters of joining scripts (Arabic, Persian), and after an Indic virama. Joiners elsewhere are always removed.

}Check whether a name, username, domain label or brand looks the same as any of up to 50 protected names (for example "pаypal" with a Cyrillic а vs "paypal"), using a UTS #39-style confusable skeleton (curated subset, case and accents ignored). Read-only. Same engine as GET /api/compare.

}Find invisible characters, bidi controls (Trojan Source), hidden Unicode tag payloads (decoded), variation-selector runs, control characters, unusual spaces, mixed-script words and lookalike letters. ZWJ/ZWNJ/VS16 in legitimate context (emoji sequences, Persian/Arabic joining, Indic virama) are reported as info joiner_in_context and do not raise risk; elsewhere they stay medium. Lone surrogates are flagged. Returns a risk level (none/low/medium/high), counts, and findings with UTF-16 offsets and code points. Read-only. Same engine as GET /api/scan.
