zalgo text

Zalgo text is digital text that has been modified with combining characters (Unicode symbols that are generally used to stack diacritics above and below letters) to appear creepy or glitchy.

Named for a 2004 Internet creepypasta story that ascribes it to the influence of an eldritch deity, Zalgo text has become a significant component of many Internet memes, particularly in "surreal meme" culture. The format of Zalgo text also allows it to be used to halt or impair computer functions, whether intentionally or not. -Wikipedia
