How to find words that look the same?

Question

Algorithms

There is the following task, for example, the word "auto" (completely written in Russian letters), you need to find all possible variants of this word that are similar to "view" but actually differ. The words are similar if, for example, we replace the Russian "a" with the English "a", the word "auto" will come out, these 2 words look the same for a person, but when comparing the character codes, they will differ. Those. replacing the letters of the Russian alphabet with the letters of the English for a person, the word remains the same, but for a machine they are different.
Maybe this phenomenon is called somehow, or maybe this problem has already been solved and someone can share a link to the algorithm.

Answer 1

I will express an obvious thought: you need to compare not the words as a whole, but character by character.
