# App-Basis-ConvertText2-UtfTransform

A number of popular websites (eg twitter) do not allow the use of HTML to create
bold/italic font effects or perform smily transformations

However we can simulate this with some clever transformations of plain ascii text
into UTF8 codes which are a different font and so effectively create the same effect.

We have transformations for flip (reverses the string and flips upside down,
bold, italic, bubbles,script and leet.

We can only transform A-Z a-z 0-9 and ? ! ,

I have only implemented a small set of smilies, ones that I am likely to use.
