The Story
About Zalgo
Zalgo is what happens when text becomes haunted. Named after a 2004 creepypasta entity whose arrival corrupts everything, it works by stacking Unicode combining marks above and below ordinary letters until they bleed across the page.
Krunes both summons and banishes: generate cursed text for usernames and spooky posts, or paste Zalgo in and get clean English back. The corruption is deterministic, so the same text always curses the same way.
- Zalgo abuses combining diacritics, the accents meant for letters like é and ñ.
- The meme began in a 2004 Something Awful thread corrupting comic strips.
- Some platforms limit combining marks specifically because of Zalgo spam.
- Decoding is just stripping the marks, the original letters were there all along.
