This browser-based utility adds combining characters to your Unicode text. All characters that you paste or enter in the input text area automatically get combining characters added to them on the right side. It supports all Unicode symbols and it works with emoji characters. You can adjust combining marks for the top, middle, and bottom parts of the input data, as well as set the number of repetitions for each of them. You can also skip whitespaces and create Zalgo text by using two randomization options. Created by encoding gurus from team Browserling.
This utility adds combining characters to your Unicode data. Combining characters are small glyphs and marks that are added above, below, or on the main symbol. These marks can't be used as independent characters and they are intended only for modifying the main (base) character. Diacritical marks change the sound meaning of the letters to which they are added. For example, the word "naïve" uses the "◌̈" diaeresis mark, the word "saké" uses the "◌́" acute accent mark, and the word "breathèd" use the "◌̀" grave accent mark. To add marks to the input data, it's first split into individual graphemes, then the marks are added to each grapheme, and then the new graphemes are combined back into a Unicode string. The main block of combining characters is located in the Unicode range of code points from U+0300 to U+036F. A slightly less often used characters range in the supplement blocks from U+1DC0 to U+1DCF and from U+20D0 to U+20F0. Combining characters can appear above the primary symbol, in the middle of the symbol, or below the symbol. They can also be slightly shifted to the left or right, and appear between two letters. In addition, combining characters can be added to the same primary letter several times. In this case, they will be stacked one above the other vertically or appended horizontally to the right side. In this tool, we have categorized all combining symbols into three categories – those that get added on top, in the middle, and at the bottom. You can select which combining symbols to use and specify the number of repetitions for each of them. We have also added two randomization options – partial randomization and total randomization. The first one randomly selects one mark for each input letter and repeats the mark as many times as necessary. The second one randomly selects a new mark with each repetition. These randomization options let you easily create the chaotic Zalgo text. You can also choose whether to add combining characters to spaces, tabs, and newlines with a simple checkbox option. Finally, to create more advanced combinations, you can fill the counter field with the format "rand(m, n)". This format will randomly choose from m to n combining marks for each character. For example, "rand(2, 5)" will add at least 2 marks and at most 5.
In this example, we generate all types of combining characters and add them to the first three letters of the English alphabet. There are 84 types of marks that go above the letters, 15 types that go in the middle, and 51 types that go below. We also activate the option "Skip Whitespaces" so that combining characters aren't added to spaces that separate the letters.
This example uses a famous Latin aphorism "carpe diem" that's written in sans-serif italic Unicode letters. This aphorism translates to "seize the day" in English. It adds a combining zigzag symbol above each letter and a ring symbol below each letter. It does not put anything in the middle part of the text and ignores all whitespace characters.
In this example, we add eight random combining characters above the letters and nine random combining characters below the letters. We use the "Total Random Characters" option to do it. This option makes sure that each combining character that is added above and below the letters is selected randomly each time it's added. If we had selected the "Partial Random Characters" option, then the random mark type would be selected just once for each letter. We also activate the "Compatibility Mode" option so that the selected random marks were displayed correctly on most computers. As a result, we get a cursed Zalgo string of the word "love".
This example adds the strikethrough effect to Unicode text. To do this, it selects the "Long Stroke" combining symbol for the middle part of the letters, and for other parts, the "Don't Use" mode is selected. Thus, the input quote gets horizontally crossed-out.
In this example, we add a random number of combining characters to each letter. This is done by setting the counter option to the format "rand(m, n)". For the top combining character the counter is set to "rand(2, 4)", which means that above each letter 2 to 4 right-arrowhead characters will appear. For the bottom combining character, the counter is set to "rand(3, 6)", which means that below each letter 3 to 6 asterisk symbols will be added. For the middle combining character, a single tilde character is added and no randomization happens.
In this example, we let Zalgo and Cthulhu destroy the input Unicode data by using the partial randomization option and a random number (1 to 10) of combining symbols. We generate combining characters only for the top and bottom parts of the input data and enable the compatibility mode so that the selected random marks were visible on older computers.
