About
Standard digital text relies on the ASCII standard, a limited set of characters designed in the 1960s. When you see "italic" or "bold" text on platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok - which explicitly ban HTML formatting - you are not seeing a font change. You are seeing a substitution cipher.
This tool maps Latin characters to Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols found in the Unicode Plane 1 SMP. These glyphs were originally intended for mathematical notation (e.g., distinguishing a variable a from a vector a). By exploiting this standard, we can simulate rich text in plain-text environments. However, this comes with significant technical and ethical considerations regarding accessibility and search engine indexing.
Formulas
The core transformation algorithm relies on code point shifting. For contiguous Unicode blocks, the transformation function T for a character c can be defined as:
However, simple linear shifting fails due to "Unicode Holes". For example, the Blackboard Bold C (Complex Numbers) exists at U+2102, not in the standard Double-Struck block (U+1D538). To handle this, we use a piecewise mapping function:
Zalgo text generation involves vertically stacking Combining Diacritical Marks. The height H of a character is determined by the sum of marks above mup and below mdown:
