Frequently asked questions
What's Zalgo?▾
An internet meme using stacked Unicode combining marks (U+0300–U+036F) to make text appear to bleed or glitch. Often associated with creepypasta.
Does it work everywhere?▾
Mostly — anywhere Unicode renders. Some apps strip combining marks, and very high intensities may overflow line height.
Is it harmful?▾
No, but extreme Zalgo can crash older messaging apps that don't handle very long combining sequences. Stick to intensity 1–3 for compatibility.
