I have been messing around with creating a homoglyph keyboard for Android, but I’m wondering if it’s even worthwhile. Is there any benefit to masking your messages with homoglyphs? Primarily I think it could defend against an LLMs ability to easily scrape messages. In my experiments ChatGPT and DeepSeek both get confused by homoglyph messages unless you instruct it to determine the likely alphabet characters and numbers for each individual character.

Maybe, but also definitely will disadvantage screen reader users.
And anyone who has eye issues. My text size isn’t cranked up because I’m great at reading a bunch of squiggly shit, and if I saw more than one sentence of that I’d just not read it.
Yeah, I imagine it would be pretty unpleasant for anyone with dyslexia as well.
