FAQ About Text Censor
Are word boundaries respected?
Yes. Only whole words are censored. For example, 'hell' will not match 'hello'. This prevents over-censoring.
What is 'each letter' mode?
In symbol mode, enabling 'each letter' repeats the symbol for each character in the word. E.g. 'bad' → '***' (3 symbols for 3 letters).
