What Wikipedia says

In orthography and typography, a homoglyph is a glyph that is used for either of a pair (or more) of distinct graphemes, or even a glyph whose shape appears identical or very similar to the glyph used for another grapheme. The designation is also applied to sequences of characters sharing these properties.
