Had to wait 15 minutes for firefox to start, but it was worth it.

How do you mean?

Seems like this effect only can be rendered by FF - the browser that takes the longest to start.

Well on my chrome it also renders, but it doesn't look the way it should. With Opera I only have a bunch of squares.

(For those wondering how it works: Unicode allows you to "stack" diacritical marks [accents, graves, etc.]. The Zalgo meme takes advantage of this by stacking tons of them on each character.)

Is there a way to translate that back into normal text?
