Simple python 3 class for matching a string to another string that is same but has letters that only look the same as original string. unicode.org provides a nice list of "confusable" letters. This class uses that info to turn a string into a regular expression pattern that includes all these confusable variations.
E.g. "𝓗℮𝐥1೦" would match "Hello"
"Hello" gets turned into the following regex of character classes:
[H\Ｈ\ℋ\ℌ\ℍ\𝐇\𝐻\𝑯\𝓗\𝕳\𝖧\𝗛\𝘏\𝙃\𝙷\Η\𝚮\𝛨\𝜢\𝝜\𝞖\Ⲏ\Н\Ꮋ\ᕼ\ꓧ\𐋏\Ⱨ\Ң\Ħ\Ӊ\Ӈ]
[e\℮\ｅ\ℯ\ⅇ\𝐞\𝑒\𝒆\𝓮\𝔢\𝕖\𝖊\𝖾\𝗲\𝘦\𝙚\𝚎\ꬲ\е\ҽ\ɇ\ҿ]

Probably best to combine this with removing accented characters in the text to be searched. Several ways explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/517923/what-is-the-best-way-to-remove-accents-in-a-python-unicode-string
