Someone seemed to have recently found a text glitch in the comments section and now it’s been spreading obnoxiously for a while
Is there a way to fix this glitch?
Or at least check every character whenever someone posts in the comment to make sure none of them are the ladder inducing characters.

This is one of the collection of characters that causes the ladder thing, and apparently, it is all over google if you google it.
I brought this up in another thread a few hours ago. Good to know others are being annoyed.
Hi, we’re working on a resolution for this now and it will show up in an upcoming release.
It’s basically Zalgo. It just uses a bunch of unicode characters which stack over themselves weirdly like that. My solution would be to block all of these characters:
// data set of leet unicode chars
//---------------------------------------------------
//those go UP
var zalgo_up = [
