# Zero Width Unicode Standard (ZWUS)
|
|
|
|
Zero Width Unicode Steganography — hide text inside invisible characters.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
zwus = "0.1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use zwus::Zwus;
|
|
|
|
// Encode & decode strings
|
|
let hidden = Zwus::encode_string("secret");
|
|
let revealed = Zwus::decode_to_string(&hidden);
|
|
assert_eq!(revealed, "secret");
|
|
|
|
// Encode & decode number arrays
|
|
let encoded = Zwus::encode_number_array(&[72, 101, 108]);
|
|
let decoded = Zwus::decode_to_number_array(&encoded);
|
|
assert_eq!(decoded, vec![72, 101, 108]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Base
|
|
|
|
Higher base = shorter output, but more likely visible in some renderers.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
Zwus::encode_string_with_base("hi", 3); // default, safest
|
|
Zwus::encode_string_with_base("hi", 6); // compact
|
|
Zwus::encode_string_with_base("hi", 8); // most compact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Decode must match the encode base:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
Zwus::decode_to_string_with_base(&encoded, 6);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Embedded in visible text
|
|
|
|
Non-ZWUS characters are automatically ignored during decoding, so hidden payloads survive being mixed into normal text.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
let hidden = Zwus::encode_string("secret");
|
|
let carrier = format!("nothing to see here{hidden}, move along");
|
|
let extracted = Zwus::decode_to_string(&carrier);
|
|
assert_eq!(extracted, "secret");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Full Unicode support
|
|
|
|
Handles emoji and all of Unicode — anything `char` can represent.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
let encoded = Zwus::encode_string("hello 🦀🔥");
|
|
let decoded = Zwus::decode_to_string(&encoded);
|
|
assert_eq!(decoded, "hello 🦀🔥");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Interop
|
|
|
|
Encoded output is byte-identical to the [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zwus), so you can encode in JS and decode in Rust or vice versa.
