What is Cursed Text?
Also known as Zalgo text or corrupted text, it's created by abusing the Unicode standard. Unicode includes "combining characters" (diacritics) designed to be placed over or under standard letters (like an accent mark in café).
By stacking hundreds of these combining characters onto a single letter in random directions, browsers struggle to render them cleanly, resulting in text that bleeds up and down the page in a chaotic, "glitched" appearance.
Pro Tips
- Discord & Twitter: This text works perfectly on most social platforms because it's technically just standard text, not an image.
- Watch the slider: Setting intensity to 100% will create massive vertical spires of text that may overlap and hide UI elements on some websites.
- Directional Toggles: Disabling "Upwards" is highly recommended if you are pasting the text into a single-line chat box, keeping the glitch contained to the bottom half.
