Same post viewed in Lemmy, it’s all squashed into the same space as horizontal text.

It’s called Zalgo. Disappointingly, the Voyager UI protects me from it overflowing and smushes it together. :)
I imagine it is torture for people who use screen readers, so I apologise.
I hadn’t even considered that.
My issue with it is that, instead of the space for it expanding to fit it, it overflows and covers UI elements like username, reply button etc.
Yeah, it does that. That’s (one reason) why it’s good manners to use it sparingly.
Or, you know, not use it at all.
It’s exceptionally bad form to use it but Z͠a̛’l͘ga̶t҉ot̡h must be honored.
AHH!
I see the vertical text overlaps UI elements in the Notifications window too. And in comments.
I have deployed a fix. Thanks for bringing this up.
How will you deal with actual vertical text?
I had to remove the fix because it broke some other things 😅
😂
GL🫡😔🤞
Thanks for handling it. :)
People trying to be ‘cool & edgy’ but it really just marks them as annoying idiots. Thanks for the self inflicted Scarlet Letter.
Shame nobody 🧵 posted actual vertical text:
ᠪᠣᠰᠰᠣᠣ ᠲеᠻᠰᠲ☝️ If you don’t see this vertically, your client is lying to you.
Also, 🖕 Unicode.
Not vertical for me :(
I don’t know what that stuff in the post in question is, so I just called it vertical text. Until I squinted, I thought it might have been Manchu script :D
Not vertical for me :(
Switch 𐑑 client 𐑞𐑑 1) displays vertical text 2) 𐑯 has recursive font support. 𐑓 Mongolian Bichig, Gecko is recommended. (Not by me). Mongolian White is rec. as well.
Here’s how our exchange should have looked like:
Like others already mentioned 🧵, «Zalgo» is randomized unicode diacritics abuse. If 𐑘𐑹 client escaped 𐑞 diacritics, 𐑘𐑹 font is displaying diacritics correctly.
𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 subs used
Thanks for the info.
TIL about Zalgo text.
For what other purpose does vertical text exist I ask you.
“Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
Cool way to make zalgo text, kinda.
