In this paper we address the problem of changing between character-sets in a flexible manner. We focus on one-to-one character mappings and train characterlevel one-to-one RNNs to undo them with self-supervision; recovering half the CER even with 20 text lines. We analyse the use of these one-to-one networks for HTR post-correction and we see that they obtain significant improvements while totally ignoring in
