A python method with the following code will do it:


s = ''
for c in "hello world":
  s = s + '<img src="images/%s.png" alt="%s">'%(c, c)
return s


Where the images folder has images for each of the characters. An extension 
of this script would replace the hard-coded "hello world" with an argument.
