#5Now pack even more info in each character with Zalgo text.

Re: Scream cipher
#7There are a little over 256 unicode Combining Marks that have a 2-byte UTF-8 encoding. I picked a set of them, defining an encoding I call zalgo256:

Since an arbitrarily tall stack of combining characters still counts as one grapheme cluster, if some application limits string length by counting grapheme clusters then you can stuff an unlimited amount of data in there, with "only" 2x overhead in the byte representation.
Unfortunately HN filters some of the codepoints so I can't demonstrate here. Since I chose "A" as the base character which the diacritics are stacked on, it has a similar aesthetic to the SCREAM cipher although a little more zalgo-y.

am I unusual in not really seeing the "creepiness" of zalgo text?
