Cursed text and the aesthetic of corruption
Cursed text belongs to the same internet vocabulary as cursed images: things that look wrong in a way that is hard to place. The technique is combining marks stacked far past what any renderer expects, so the letters bleed into the lines above and below.
It reads as corruption because that is what genuinely broken text encoding looks like — and unlike a real encoding error, it survives being copied, which is what makes it usable as an effect.
Use it sparingly
The heaviest setting is not readable and is not meant to be. It also overflows containers, which can break a layout, and enough of it slows a page down. A word or two lands; a paragraph is just broken.
