What is Cursed Text?
Cursed text is a style of text that appears corrupted, glitched, or 'haunted' using special Unicode characters that stack above and below normal letters. This creates an unsettling, creepy effect that makes text appear to be glitching or possessed.
Our cursed text generator uses the Zalgo text effect, which adds random combining diacritical marks to standard characters. The result is text that appears to be corrupted or 'cursed' - perfect for creating an eerie atmosphere in your online content.

The History of Cursed Text
The "cursed" or "zalgo" text effect originated in internet culture around 2004, inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and cosmic horror. The name "Zalgo" comes from a creepypasta meme about an entity that causes corruption and madness.
The effect is created using combining Unicode characters that were originally designed to add diacritical marks to letters in various languages. When these marks are stacked excessively, they create the distinctive corrupted appearance that has become associated with digital horror and glitch aesthetics.
