How Zalgo Text Works
Combining Diacritical Marks
In natural languages, diacritical marks (like the acute accent in Γ© or the umlaut in ΓΌ) attach to a single letter. Unicode allows an unlimited number of these marks to be stacked on top of one another. Zalgo text exploits this by stacking dozens of random accents above, through, and below each letter.
Web Only Caution
Heavy Zalgo text can cause visual overlap issues in mobile chats and comments threads. It is popular for horror fiction, ARG games, Discord memes, and Halloween posts.
