Ask HN: How to make text to look like that?

Coped from one of the comments on Bored Panda ( https://www.boredpanda.com/things-ai-cant-recreate/)

It's the comment by: Everest wolf

All the magic characters are cut off by the HN filters, but the original looks like the text is written everywhere except in the line itself...

It’s called Zalgo text.[1] Basically spamming unicode combining diacritics onto existing characters. Note of course that this makes the text broadly unreadable for sighted users, and completely unusable for blind or low vision users.
