Corrupted text
The glitch-art framing of the same effect as zalgo/cursed text — Unicode combining marks stacked to look like broken or corrupted data.
Corrupted text leans into a "broken file" or glitch-art aesthetic rather than the horror-meme framing of "zalgo." It uses the identical underlying mechanism: Unicode combining marks stacked on normal characters.
Heavier "through" (strikethrough-style overlay) mark density tends to read as more "corrupted" than above/below marks alone — which is also the setting most likely to actually get trimmed or misrender in short fields, so it's worth checking a renderability estimate before committing to a username or bio.
