How Creepy Text Works

This generator creates creepy text effects by applying Unicode combining diacritical marks to normal characters. These marks were designed for languages that use accents and special characters, but when layered extensively, they create a disturbing, corrupted appearance.

The effect stacks multiple marks above, below, and through each letter, making text appear haunted, possessed, or glitching. Different combinations create varying levels of distortion, from subtle eeriness to complete visual chaos.

The output uses standard Unicode, so it works across platforms: Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, and more. Lower intensity settings ensure better compatibility and readability while maintaining the spooky effect.
