Advice Request Odd symbols in Chrome search

[Malakke]

Hello guys. I was testing the effectiveness of DNS servers (Opendns, Norton Connectsafe, etc...) against porn sites, and when i searched "xvideos" in Chrome browser....:

Whatever DNS server i use, it shows these odd symbols when I do a search for a term related to porn

Internet Explorer or Edge not show this behaviour...

It's a key character don't worry it's not some malware or any issue.

Thanks, but it's really paranormal

Try using different search engines and see if the issue persists, e.g. Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo or Startpage. It's an accented or modifier unicode implemented several times above/below a normal character, you can find those in character map in Windows OS.

Yeah, it's kinda weird but it's just a key character nothing special.
Try to google "Zalgo Generator" and try a few of those you'll know what I mean

I have replicated the problem, it's not malicious see below :

Spoiler: Test

With other engines the issue is gone... Paranormal activity cleared

Although it has been fixed, the first thing I would've recommended would be changing DNS it is very strange that it's happening never seen anything like it before in my life

It's just a key character. Back in my trolling days, I used to use those characters to annoy random people off the internet (because that's the roll of a troll xD) If you want to create or use these keys, try googling "Zalgo Generator".

Its a key character, there are instances that some AV can detect malicious page if you search some keywords without visiting a site however low chance of rate to get infected.

So that likely a bug that contribute from your installed addons or DNS.

I think it has no connection with addons or DNS. Even from a fresh Chrome install you can see the same characters...
