The practical implication: a string like “аpple.com” with Cyrillic а (U+0430) is pixel-identical to “apple.com” in 40+ fonts.

Web fonts change the equation. Sites that serve custom web fonts via @font-face may inadvertently reduce or increase confusable risk depending on the font’s glyph design. A display font with distinctive Cyrillic letterforms would lower the danger rate. A geometric sans-serif that harmonises Latin and Cyrillic would raise it. Neither outcome is typically considered when choosing a web font.
