About this tool
Unicode combining characters let you create stylish glitch effects that stack above, between, and below letters. This is the same idea behind Zalgo text, often used for eerie social media bios, gaming names, Discord tags, YouTube titles, Instagram stylings, Twitter/X profiles, and WhatsApp messages.
Use a low intensity for subtle distortions or crank it up for heavy corruption, creepy overlays, and horror-like visuals that feel intentionally broken.

It layers combining characters above, below, and around the base letters to create the illusion of corruption or decay.
