I built a demo of two Unicode steganography techniques, zero-width characters and homoglyph substitution, in the context of AI misalignment.The first is about the use of two invisible zero-width characters (ZWS and ZWNJ) to binary encode text.The second is much cooler. Most characters in the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets look nearly identical, but have different unicode. If you have text to encode and convert it into binary representation (1s and 0s), you could take plain english "carrier" text and for each 1 in the binary representation you could substitute the Cyrillic letter equivalent. Decoding the message requires traversing the text and seeing where Cyrillic letters could have been subs
