Talk:Zalgo text

StackOverflow regex parsing of HTML
You'd need a reference for it, but I'd be surprised if this weren't relevant to the development and uptake of Zalgo text. At the moment the history rather jumps from 2004 to 2020. &rsaquo; Mortee  talk 03:53, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Zalgo text direct example
Since an IP editor added an actual string of Zalgo text to the article with this edit, I'm wondering if it's worthwhile keeping it. It probably violates MOS:NOSYMBOLS for accessibility reasons / potentially breaking the site. I don't think having just images of Zalgo text is a perfect replacement either, since it's the encoding of the text itself that's important. I feel silly, but I'm wondering if this is a rare case for WP:IAR. — Wingedserif (talk) 02:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting thought. I value both IAR and accessibility as highest virtues. What I'd lean towards here is having an actual screen reader user check out the article and see if it breaks it. Vaticidalprophet 03:29, 14 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Could do something like this (see infobox). Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 03:35, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * As a screen reader user, I've gotten here through this village pump thread I started thanks to finding what turns out to be a completely ridiculous example of the phenomenon. I have no problem whatsoever with short examples like the one in the article and on the talk page. Also, Vaticidalprophet, I hope you don't mind what I did to the page history.

This articles does not mention that Zalgo is a "Fuck you!" to the blind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.160.30.123 (talk) 16:19, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
