How Does Zalgo / Glitch Text Work in Unicode?
The "glitch" or "cursed" text effect does not use images, HTML markup, or software bugs. Instead, it exploits a legitimate feature of the Unicode standard known as Combining Diacritical Marks (Unicode block U+0300 to U+036F).
In standard languages, combining marks add accents to letters (such as adding an acute accent `´` to `e` to make `é`). However, Unicode allows an unlimited number of these marks to be stacked on a single letter. When dozens of diacritical marks are piled onto each character, they overflow into adjacent lines of text, creating a spooky, corrupted "void" look.
