Glitch Text Generator: What It Is and How To Create It
Ever seen text on Discord, Twitch, or Instagram that looks broken, corrupted, or haunted?
Like this: Z̴̧̞̥̲͈̄̑͒̋͋͑͛͒ā̵̹̞̪̲̩͈̦̖̚l̴̡̦̩̩̩̜̀̓g̴͉͖̫̽ǫ̵̜͙̼͒̑̂̚
That striking effect is called Glitch Text (aka Zalgo Text or Cursed Text). It’s a powerful way to make usernames, bios, and posts stand out—without images or custom fonts.
In this ultimate guide, you’ll learn how it works and how to generate your own glitch text in seconds with the TextRift Glitch Text Generator.
Is Glitch Text a Font?
No—Glitch Text is not a font. It’s a Unicode trick.
The Trick: Unicode Combining Marks
Every normal letter (like a, b, c) has a code point in Unicode. Unicode also includes special combining marks—accents and diacritics designed to attach above, through, or below a base letter.
Glitch text generators stack many combining marks around each character, forcing apps to render a chaotic cluster in a tiny space. The overlap creates the spooky, corrupted “Zalgo” look.
Why Use Glitch Text? Where Does It Work?
- 🎮 Discord & Twitch — Make usernames and messages instantly eye‑catching.
- 📱 Social bios — Add cyberpunk or eerie vibes to Instagram/Twitter/X.
- 🎨 Creative work — Great for thumbnails, headers, and edgy visuals.
The Fastest Way to Create Glitch Text
You could copy combining marks by hand… but why?
