It's actually relevant here. For people less familiar with some aspects of Unicode, this is a neat example, along the same lines as the OP. Just don't try to select it!
- psionski 14y agoWhen you say "don't try", some people take it as a personal challenge :) Why does this happen? How can it mess up my selection like this?
- bzbarsky 14y agoMess up in what sense? Selection seems to work reasonably on that text for me in Firefox....
- psionski 14y agoIt's displayed with boxes here, not the actual zalgo text (although I can paste it somewhere and looks correctly there), although my encoding is set to UTF and I can't select single boxes. The whole page kept blinking, but this was another issue (the layout of the comments, when I went over some borders it kept selecting and deselecting the whole page which caused it to blink).
- shrikant 14y agoSame here. Displays and able to select it quite alright. (Ubuntu 12.10, Firefox 21) Although searching for the same text results in Google telling me this: 414. That's an error. The requested URL /... is too large to process. That’s all we know.
- arethuza 14y ago"Just don't try to select it!" Why - seems to select perfectly well when I try it using Firefox on Windows 7.
