Create creepy, corrupted, glitchy Zalgo text. Type below and copy the effect you want.
How does glitch text work?
Glitch text uses Unicode combining diacritical marks — invisible characters that attach above and below regular letters. By stacking many of these marks, the text appears to overflow and corrupt, creating the iconic "Zalgo" effect. These are real Unicode characters, so they work wherever Unicode text is supported.
