FAQ
What is Zalgo text?
Zalgo text stacks many Unicode combining marks on each character so the text looks corrupted and creepy. No font installation is needed — it works with plain copy & paste.
Can I turn garbled Zalgo text back to normal?
Yes. Paste it into the Uncurse (remover) tab and the combining marks are stripped away. Choose Standard mode to protect legitimate accents like é, or Remove-all mode to strip every mark.
Can I post Zalgo text anywhere?
It depends on the platform. Combining marks count toward character limits, and some services flag Zalgo as spam and block or delete it.
Do I need to install a font?
No. Zalgo is not a font — it is made of standard Unicode combining characters, so it renders anywhere Unicode is supported (stacking varies by environment).
