Type something and get glitchy, cursed-looking zalgo text with marks stacked above and below every letter, plus strikethrough, slashed and upside-down text. Tap to copy.
Before you paste it into your name. Because these are different characters, not a font, a screen reader may read each one by its official name (“mathematical bold capital H”), letter by letter, or skip it, and search inside apps usually won’t match it, so people typing your name may not find you. Keep your name, @handle and anything important in plain text, and use styles for decoration. Tap the magnifier on any style to see exactly which characters you’d be pasting.
Zalgo text keeps your letters and piles combining marks on each one: accents, tildes and dots that normally sit over or under a single letter, here stacked two above and one below. Your text is still underneath, which is why it stays roughly readable. Open the magnifier on the glitch style to see every mark by name.
The marks are chosen from your text itself, so the same words always glitch the same way, and what you see is exactly what gets copied.
Most apps show zalgo text, but marks can spill over the lines above and below, and some apps or servers trim or ban it in names because it is hard to read. For a screen reader it is noise: every letter comes with three extra symbols. Use it for a spooky post or a joke, not your name or anything people need to read.
