What Is Glitch Text?
Glitch text is writing that looks broken, distorted or "cursed" โ like tฬดhฬดiฬดsฬด or tฬอฬฬฉอhฬอฬฬฉอiฬอฬฬฉอsฬอฬฬฉอ. It's made by stacking special Unicode "combining marks" on top of, through and below normal letters, so the text appears to flicker, drip or overflow its line.
The heaviest version is often called Zalgo text, after an internet horror meme. This generator lets you choose how strong the effect is โ from a gentle flicker to total chaos โ and which direction the glitch spreads.

What Is Zalgo Text?
"Zalgo" started as a creepy internet meme in the late 2000s, where comics would slowly "corrupt" into dripping, distorted text. The style spread to forums, gaming and social media, and now "Zalgo text" means any heavily glitched writing.
Technically, Zalgo works because Unicode lets you attach unlimited accent-style marks to a single letter. Normally a letter gets one accent, like รฉ โ Zalgo text adds dozens, which pile up above and below the line.

Tips For Great Glitch Text
- Start Light. Light glitch stays readable and works in more apps; Chaos is best for memes.
- Keep It Short. Heavy Zalgo makes text very tall, so a word or two looks best.
- Some Apps Trim Marks. Certain games and websites remove combining marks or limit them.
- Mind Your Friends' Screens. Very heavy Zalgo can overlap other lines and be hard to read.
- Not For Important Info. Screen readers struggle with glitch text, so keep key details plain.
- Pair With Dark Symbols. ๐ป, ๐ and โโโ make the effect even creepier.
