FAQ
What is Zalgo text?
Zalgo text is a visual effect that layers many Unicode combining diacritical marks over normal letters. This produces a distorted, glitchy and often unsettling look while remaining copyable text.
Does Zalgo text work everywhere?
It displays on most platforms that support Unicode, but some apps clamp the height or filter combining characters. The result can therefore vary across Discord, Instagram or browsers.
Can I adjust the intensity of the Zalgo effect?
Yes, you can control how many combining characters are added for a light or fully corrupted effect. The more marks you add, the more the text bleeds into surrounding lines.
