That’s the name of the extraterrestrial who assigned me my gender (obviously).
(Actual answer: It’s a bunch of Unicode diacritics stacked on top of each other. On the Internet, this is also called “zalgo” text and can be generated with tools like this)
I understood your intended meaning perfectly. Clever use of that stuff!
But I was curious how that works. Thanks for clearing it up a little. Though I’m still wondering, how that stuff gets encoded, and how it’s possible to work on here and why I can even copy it to a plain text editor and it still looks the same there.
Unicode letters with diacritics are just serial groups of symbols that get rendered by the software displaying it in a way that places the diacritical symbols above or below the letters. Wikipedia has a short explanation that (funny enough) also mentions zalgo text.
Interesting read. It also mentions how it’s challenging for software to render 'algo text well. Hence my astonishment, that both my Lemmy-app (Voyager) and a plain text editor on my phone seem to have no trouble at all doing so. (Apart from overlapping the next lines).
And I’m also astonished how that piece of internet culture has largely gone by me, despite decades of heavy internet use…
TIL, I guess.

Wtf are these? Is this unicode? It looks like webdings for Tibetans.
