These characters were made to add accents on top of a letter, a grave here or a cedilla there, one or two per character. Zalgo text leans on a loophole: unicode sets no hard cap on how many marks can attach to a single letter. Pile fifteen of them onto one t and the accents spill above and below the line, giving the melting, haunted look the internet named after a \u003Cstrong>2004 creepypasta meme\u003C\u002Fstrong>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"how-intensity-works\">What the intensity slider changes\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Intensity sets how many marks each visible character receives. At level 1, every letter picks up one or two marks above and below, readable with a slight wobble. At level 4, the default, a six-letter word carries around \u003Cstrong>30 marks\u003C\u002Fstrong> and starts to drip. At level 10, each letter can stack more than \u003Cstrong>20 marks\u003C\u002Fstrong> and the text becomes a solid column of noise.

Discord, Reddit and Tumblr render it faithfully. Some platforms fight back, though. Twitch chat strips heavy combining marks, several games filter them out of usernames, and X sometimes truncates thick zalgo because every mark counts against the character limit. A ten-letter word at intensity 10 can weigh over \u003Cstrong>200 characters\u003C\u002Fstrong>.
