What is Cursed Text?

Cursed text (also known as Zalgo text or glitch text) is created by adding Unicode combining diacritical marks to normal characters. These marks are designed to modify letters in languages like Vietnamese or Arabic, but when applied excessively, they create a chaotic, corrupted appearance.

The effect stacks multiple accent marks, tildes, umlauts, and other modifiers above, below, and through each letter, creating text that appears to be breaking, glitching, or crawling. It's commonly used for horror-themed content, memes, or to stand out in comments and usernames.

This generator uses legitimate Unicode characters, so the output works across most platforms including Twitter, Discord, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, and messaging apps. Some platforms may limit excessive marks to prevent abuse, but moderate settings work universally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use cursed text?
Cursed text works on most platforms: Twitter, Discord, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, Steam, Twitch, YouTube, WhatsApp, and more. Avoid extreme settings on platforms with character limits or strict spam filters.
Is cursed text safe to use?
Yes. It uses standard Unicode combining marks. However, some platforms may filter or remove excessive marks to prevent visual spam. Moderate settings are safest for public posts.
Why does my cursed text look different on some devices?
Different operating systems and fonts render combining marks differently. Text may appear more or less distorted depending on the viewer's device, but the Unicode characters remain the same.
Can I use this for Discord usernames?
Yes, but use subtle or mild presets. Discord limits excessive combining marks in usernames and may reject very distorted text. Test before committing.
What's the difference between top, middle, and bottom marks?
Top marks appear above letters (accents, tildes). Middle marks go through letters (strikethroughs). Bottom marks appear below (underlines, cedillas). Combining all three creates the most chaotic effect.
Does this work with emojis?
Partially. Combining marks work best with standard letters and numbers. Emojis may not display marks correctly on all platforms.
