What are confusables?

Confusable characters are those that may be confused with others (in some common UI fonts), such as the Latin letter “o” and the Greek letter omicron “ο”. Fonts make a difference: for example, the Hebrew character “ס” looks confusingly similar to “o” in some fonts (such as Arial Hebrew), but not in others.
