Fun story: I discovered these in the early 2000s and simultaneously discovered that Slashdot didn't filter these out. I spent an evening randomly reversing large sections of comment pages until they finally blocked it.
I'm very, very sorry CmdrTaco.
- kingcharles 5y agoMost web sites' comment sections will allow these. I think even Facebook allows tomfoolery like this. f̷̧̨̡̜͚̬̰͕̩̻̳̜̮̫̰̓̏̑̐̇̍͘͝è̶̙̥͚̰͈͚̹̜̼͙͚͌à̴̛̙̣̖̮̰̥̩͚̣̺͋̂̓̓̍͛͜ͅr̶̛͎̬̭̯͙͉̬̞̤̲̞̼͉̣̃̒͗̄̎̋͆̓̊͐͝ͅ ̷̦̬̳̹̦̳̭͓͖͔̺̮̩̓̆̍̊͆͊͜ẗ̵̩͙̼́̂̿́̂̈́̈́̑ḩ̸̨̝͇̖̤̱̠̼̣͈̩͈̰̃̂͂͋̏̇͗͛̓̈́̍̑͑̕̚͜ë̶̥̜̘͙̦̋ ̸̛̟̀̄̌͗́̄ͅų̷̪͙̰̜̟̰̦͇̞̥̜͓͇͊̆͗̆̀͗̀̈́̌̉͆̏͆͜ṫ̸̨̜͈̲̺͖͓̄̍̄̓̏̓̓̎͜ͅf̴̨̼̜̯͇̜̯̹͚͛8̴̧̤͖̠̳̜̤̻̟̏̀̽̃m̷̯̤̳͔̘̣͙̗̰͙͔̦̰̝͑͐͌̓̎̀̇̓̆͂̎̐̽̚͠ą̶̢̻͂̒͛̑̅̈͛͑̈́̓̚͠͝n̴̦̺͖̆̑͗̾̈̀̉̿̑̐̈́͝ͅͅ
- scatters 5y agoWell yes, Facebook has users in Vietnam. Stacked diacritics are a features, not a bug.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI've seen some sites / services (Discord?) filter these out, at least to the point where they don't escape a message's vertical space. I'm sure they're truncated because those messages are pretty big in terms of amount of bytes. And while they have valid use cases, I can't see it in e.g. comment sections or chat messages. Happy to have someone link to e.g. a Vietnamese comment section showing practical use though.

- cmdrtaco 5y agoI’m sure you created a shitty day for one of us :( I’d like to say this was unusual, but it was pretty common.
- mmastrac 5y agoOof. :( My bad, definitely sorry. A case of your favourite bubbly pop on me.
