Effect Styles

Effect styles use Unicode combining diacritics — characters that attach to the letter before them — to create strikethrough lines, underlines, double underlines, and the infamous Zalgo glitch effect. These work by layering invisible combining characters on top of each letter, producing effects that are preserved when copied and pasted anywhere that renders Unicode.
