How Zalgo text works

Glitch text, also called Zalgo or cursed text, stacks Unicode combining diacritical marks, the characters normally used for accents, onto ordinary letters. The marks come from ranges such as U+0300-U+036F and can be placed above, through or below a character. Because they're combining characters, one visible letter can carry dozens of them, and they spill out of the line into the text around them. The intensity setting controls how many marks are added per letter. The result is real text, so it can be copied into bios, posts and messages.

Where it breaks and how to use it well

Heavy Zalgo can overlap nearby lines, make messages hard to read and slow down some apps. Many platforms limit or strip combining marks in usernames, and some moderation tools treat heavy glitch text as spam. Screen readers may read out every mark or skip the word, so avoid it for anything people need to understand. Light intensity works best for a spooky title, a gaming nickname or a Halloween post. For search and sharing, keep the important words plain, because glitched words won't match searches for the original text.

Can I control how intense the glitch effect is?

Yes. Adjust the intensity to go from a subtle glitch to heavy, chaotic Zalgo, and copy exactly the level you want.

Will glitch text work on Discord and social media?

Yes. Because it is standard Unicode combining characters, it pastes into Discord, X, Instagram and most platforms, though a few apps strip the marks.
