PHP library for converting SPIonic-encoded ASCII strings to Unicode.

SPIonic is a public domain font that represents ASCII characters as Greek letters and diacritics. It uses a scheme based on Beta Code with a few variations, the most significant of which is that uppercase letters are represented by uppercase letters and lowercase by lowercase (whereas Beta Code uses *A for uppercase alpha and A for lowercase alpha). This package will convert Greek written using this scheme into Unicode Greek characters.

Hosted version is available at https://noahfrederick.com/spionic-unicode-converter/.

Installation

composer require noahfrederick/spionic

Usage

use SPIonic\SPIonicString;

$string = new SPIonicString('e)n tw~| a!gei+ e)ne/xesqai');
echo $string->toUnicode(); // -> 'ἐν τῷ ἄγεϊ ἐνέχεσθαι'
