Not precisely. In this case they seem to all be Cyrillic characters which
happen to look like Latin characters that have ASCII encodings. It's not
possible to obfuscate actual printables in UTF-8 encoding because the UTF-8
encoding of any ASCII printable is the same 8 bits as its ASCII encoding.
Sorry, I was sloppy in my wording. What you described is what I was
referring to - obfuscating ASCII text with non-ASCII glyphs that look
sufficiently similar to not interrupt the flow of reading.
