How glitch text works

Glitch text, also called zalgo, stacks combining marks above, through and below each letter. The letters underneath stay normal, which is why it pastes anywhere text goes.

Every mark is a character of its own, so glitch text gets long fast. Light keeps a short name inside most limits; Heavy is better for a one-word caption or a spooky post.

Where glitch text can break

Some apps clip tall marks or limit how many can stack on one letter, so Heavy may be trimmed. Names on Discord and in games are often cut off by the row height. Strikethrough and Slashed give a glitchy feel with far fewer characters.

Questions people ask

Is zalgo text safe to paste?

Yes. It is plain Unicode text with extra marks. Very long heavy text can be slow to scroll in some chat apps, so keep it short.

Why did my glitch text get cut off?

The app limits marks per letter or name length. Try Light or a shorter word.

Can I use glitch text in a Discord name?

Yes, in your display name, server name or channel names. Light is less likely to be cut off in the member list, and Discord fonts has calmer styles that stay readable.

Can I make it the same every time?

Yes. The same text and level always give the same result, so you can copy it again later.
