Disclaimers

• Only alphanumeric characters are supported. All other characters are returned as-is.
• Unicode characters can be finicky depending on where they're displayed, so text might not look the same everywhere.
• The fancy text will typically look better in browsers, but will work in Terminal, etc as long as the font isn't too small.
• I accept no responsibility for any damages incurred by wacky text either displaying or not displaying.
