Straight answers
Zalgo Text Generator FAQ
How does zalgo actually work?
Unicode combining marks are designed to stack diacritics on letters; zalgo stacks DOZENS, and renderers dutifully draw them bleeding over the lines. It is typographic infrastructure misused as art — no images, just marks.
Why the length and intensity caps?
Each character can carry 6× its size in marks — uncapped zalgo is an accidental denial-of-service on chat apps (and screen readers suffer it worst, which the page flags). Caps keep the joke a joke.
