Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.

Typing zalgo text symbols without copying them

You do not have to copy. Each code point below doubles as a keyboard code — decimal for a Windows alt code, hexadecimal for Word and macOS.

Character	Name	Windows	Hex	HTML
̀	Combining Grave Accent	`Alt 768`	`0300`	`̀`
̊	Combining Ring Above	`Alt 778`	`030A`	`̊`
̔	Combining Reversed Comma Above	`Alt 788`	`0314`	`̔`
̞	Combining Down Tack Below	`Alt 798`	`031E`	`̞`
̨	Combining Ogonek	`Alt 808`	`0328`	`̨`
̲	Combining Low Line	`Alt 818`	`0332`	`̲`

Alt codes need a physical numeric keypad and stop at U+FFFF. Full per-platform instructions live in the keyboard guide.

Zalgo Text Symbols questions and answers

What is the difference between Combining Latin Small Letter I and Combining Latin Small Letter X?+

U+0365 is Combining Latin Small Letter I; U+036F is Combining Latin Small Letter X. Because the encoded identity differs, substituting one for the other can change what a reader or a piece of software understands.

What is the HTML code for combining grave accent?+

̀ is the hexadecimal form and ̀ the decimal one; both render as ̀. On a page that declares UTF-8 you can also just paste the character.

Do these zalgo text symbols change colour with my text?+

Yes. None of the 112 entries on this page carry emoji properties, so each one inherits the colour, weight and size of the text around it, exactly like a letter does.

Which Unicode block are these zalgo text symbols in?+

Combining Diacritical Marks holds most of them — 112 characters. Older blocks are the safe ones; anything added recently needs testing first.
