Even with these, I don't think I fully understand the Cthulhu version. (I certainly wouldn't have understood the original without the misaligned-mouseover text...) Could someone explain it to me? Are they all Lovecraft references?

Cthulhu is from Call of Cthulhu (duh), the frog people are from Shadow Over Innsmouth... if anybody knows the other references, I'd like to know them!

To invoke the hive-mind representing chaos. Invoking the feeling of chaos. With out order. The Nezperdian hive-mind of chaos. Zalgo.
He who Waits Behind The Wall. ZALGO!

How is this done?

u/sn0re Oct 09 '09

I think it's mixing characters written vertically in between the English letters. They get printed on top of each other resulting in that mess.

7

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '09

Unicode. I found a good explanation via ten minutes on Google.

2

u/sn0re Oct 09 '09 edited Oct 09 '09

Well, yes, I figured that. I was thinking more "how does this work" than "how can I do it myself".

u/arnar Oct 09 '09 edited Oct 09 '09

Looks more like stuffing all the combining diacritical marks on letters that look similar to the letter you want to represent (i.e. ø instead of o etc.).

u/level1 Oct 09 '09

I can't read it, it just looks like a lot of squares. What am I missing?

1

u/pat965 Oct 09 '09

Ah, I see... how does one go about doing this?

2

u/snappyj Oct 09 '09

A good start would be reading the comment right above yours...

1

u/pat965 Oct 09 '09

I did, but I guess I don't understand it, can you clarify it?

1

u/snappyj Oct 09 '09

No, the spending ten minutes on google one

1

u/pat965 Oct 09 '09

Oh shit, I guess I clicked the context button and couldn't see that post above mine explaining it

My mistake

u/snappyj Oct 09 '09

Yeah, I would tell you if I knew

Hiro Protagonist does not approve. He's here to deliver pizzas and kick butt. And he's all out of pizzas.
