Full character map

Every letter and digit the Zalgo (Light) style converts, generated by the same engine that powers the tool above — so this table and the live output can never drift apart. A dash means the style has no variant for that character and it comes out unchanged.

Coverage

Complete coverage: all 26 uppercase letters, all 26 lowercase letters and all 10 digits have a dedicated Zalgo (Light) character. Nothing falls back to plain text, so a full mix of caps, lowercase and numbers still looks consistent after pasting.

Length behaviour

This style stacks combining marks, so the output grows to about 2.96× the input — 20 typed characters become roughly 59. That is the trade-off for the effect: heavy but still read by the base letters underneath.

Is it reversible?

Not losslessly. Characters without a variant are left alone and the mapping is not one-to-one, so a round trip through the style can come back slightly different. Keep the plain version if you may need to undo the effect later.

Pasting and platform support

These are ordinary Unicode characters rather than images, so they paste as text into Discord, Instagram, TikTok, X, WhatsApp, Roblox, Minecraft chat and any other field that accepts Unicode. Whether a specific app shows them depends on the fonts installed on the device doing the rendering, so preview the result on the phone you will publish from. The symbol library is handy for padding a styled name with matching decorations.

FAQ

What is zalgo text?

Text overloaded with Unicode combining diacritics that spill above and below the line, named after the 'Zalgo' internet horror meme.

Why is this version 'light'?

Extreme zalgo can break layouts and get filtered by apps. This generator keeps the glitch subtle enough to paste safely.

Can I remove zalgo from text?

Yes — strip the combining marks (U+0300–U+036F range) and the base text remains.
