Why certain characters “glitch” Gmail, YouTube, and Twitter

BleepingComputer’s Twitter profile page has started to look glitchy, with characters shooting up from another user’s display name. The behavior was being caused by certain Unicode characters in security researcher Hylejam’s (defconisov3r) display name, as shown below.
