In ‘wallet’, the second character is a cyrillic ‘a’ and the fifth a cyrillic ‘ie’, encoded in Unicode. This kind of scam is known as a homograph attack. You can find all characters using normal search as long as you’re searching for those exact characters.
If this is really a thing,phising sites would only become more complicated to identify in the future.
It has been a thing for 10+ years Sad https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack
