Formula & worked example

Each letter gains a fixed number of Unicode combining marks above, below and (at heavy intensity) through it, chosen by position so output is deterministic.

Glitching Hello at medium intensity adds two marks above and one below each letter, in a fixed repeatable pattern.

Limitations — read this before you rely on it

Decorative only; heavy glitch text harms readability and accessibility and may be moderated on some platforms.
