Instructions for use

To Encode

  • Enter the text you want to hide in the first box
  • Enter an optional mask text
  • Press encode button
  • Press Copy, and you have the encrypted text in your clipboard

To Decode

  • Enter the encrypted text into the first box
  • Press decode, and there you have it

How this works?

Encoder

  • First it takes the text to encode and splits it into characters.
  • It then takes each character and converts it into unicode.
  • The unicode is then converted to 8-bit binary code.
  • Then, for each 1 and 0 it returns a zero-width character ie '\u200B' and '\u200C' respectively.
  • Finally, it joins all these into a string, places '\uFEFF' in between and returns it.

Decoder

  • Firstly, it splits the given string into an array using '\uFEFF'
  • Now, it changes zero-width characters into binary by replacing 1,0 for every '\u200B' and '\u200C' respectively.
  • Then it converts these binary codes into integer.
  • The integers are then converted to character.
  • And lastly, the characters are then joined to make the final string.
