Glitch text uses Unicode combining diacritical marks, a set of characters in the U+0300 to U+036F range designed to be stacked on top of base letters. Normal text has one mark at most, like an accent on a French letter. Glitch text stacks many marks on a single character, creating a tall, corrupted, dripping effect. The generator uses a deterministic random algorithm, so the same input always produces the same glitch output, making results reproducible.
Light intensity adds one to two combining marks per character, creating a subtle glitch effect that stays readable. Medium intensity adds up to five marks, producing a noticeable corrupted look. Heavy intensity stacks up to nine marks per character, creating an extreme, barely readable zalgo effect. The strikethrough and slashed styles use single overlay marks (U+0336 and U+0338) for a cleaner, line-through effect without the stacking chaos.
Glitch text is popular in horror and creepypasta content, gaming communities, and edgy social media posts. It works well in Discord messages, Reddit comments, YouTube descriptions, and creative writing that wants a unsettling digital aesthetic. Keep in mind that heavy glitch text can be hard to read and may not be suitable for important information or accessibility-sensitive contexts. Use it for decoration and mood, not for critical content.
