# ⌬ subtext
A protocol that lets ordinary text carry structured data, invisibly. Copy-paste becomes a transport. No file, no link, no API key — the message is the payload.
## How
Unicode Variation Selectors (256 codepoints across U+FE00–U+FE0F and U+E0100–U+E01EF) map one-to-one to byte values. By appending VS sequences to a cover string, arbitrary bytes ride along as invisible characters.
## Where it works
Verified on Slack, X, TikTok DM, and LINE.
## Open layer
The protocol library (subtext-core) ships MIT. The iOS app sits on top.
