Google might have fixed it but Facebook haven't - the sidebar on the desktop site is full off bottom-feeder adverts for weight loss, hot dates etc. using non ASCII lookalike glyphs (usually accents or composing diacritics). I wonder if they are working around some Facebook ban on certain ads?
Spammers are still using this trick in email (usually subject lines) - I actually started writing a decomposer / normaliser plugin for SpamAssassin, then realised it was cheaper to just penalise Unicode-encoded subjects. This is why we can't have nice things.
