How Glitch Text Works
Glitch text is created with Unicode combining marks, overlays and character transformations.
• Combining Marks
Zalgo and corrupted styles add Unicode marks above, through and below standard letters.
• Digital Distortion
Other styles use strike marks, scanlines, static, signals and alternating overlays to create digital-error effects.
• Copyable Output
The output remains text rather than an image, so supported characters can be copied and pasted into many modern apps.
Glitch Text Compatibility
Support can vary because dense combining marks and unusual Unicode symbols are rendered differently by different apps and devices.
