Frequently Asked Questions
Zalgo text is a type of text that appears corrupted or glitchy by using combining Unicode characters. These characters stack above, below, and through regular text to create a creepy, distorted appearance often called 'cursed text'.
Zalgo text uses Unicode combining characters (diacritical marks) that are designed to combine with other characters. By stacking many of these marks on regular letters, the text appears to overflow and glitch in unusual ways.
We offer three levels: Mini (subtle distortion), Normal (moderate glitch effect), and Crazy (extreme corruption). Higher intensity adds more combining characters for a more dramatic effect.
Zalgo text works on most platforms that support Unicode, including social media, messaging apps, and websites. However, some platforms may limit or filter excessive combining characters.
Yes, Zalgo text is just regular Unicode characters combined in unusual ways. It cannot harm your device, though excessive Zalgo text may slow down rendering in some applications.
