How zalgo works
Zalgo piles combining marks on each letter: accents, strokes and hooks that Unicode lets you stack on any character. A normal é uses one; zalgo uses up to twenty per letter, above, through and below. They are real characters, so the mess survives copy and paste.
Low keeps the word readable with a light glitch; High spills over the lines above and below. Shuffle picks a new random set of marks.
Where it works
- Messages, comments and posts on Discord, Instagram, TikTok and X keep the marks.
- Usernames and many game name fields strip combining marks or refuse them.
- Some apps cut long zalgo text short, because each letter now counts as several characters.
- Halloween posts, horror stories and "cursed" memes are where it fits best.
