❓ Glitch text FAQ
Will glitch text break the website I paste it into?
It looks dramatic but it's just regular Unicode. Most apps handle it fine. A few apps may limit how many combining marks per character they render.
Why does Twitter (X) sometimes flatten my glitch text?
Some platforms normalise text or limit combining marks for accessibility reasons. The effect may look milder on certain sites.
Can I make my own preset of glitch intensity?
Not yet on the page — the current generator uses a fixed intensity. Stay tuned.
