IDN_MIXED_SCRIPT · Severity: Warning

• WarningIDN_MIXED_SCRIPT

  A label mixes letters from different scripts, a homograph risk.

  Letters from different scripts in one label, such as a Cyrillic letter a among Latin letters, can make a name look like another one (a homograph). Browsers show such names as xn-- to protect users. Combinations that are normal for Japanese, Chinese and Korean are not reported.

  Recommendation: Use letters from a single script in each label.
