Even if I'm very capable of seeing the irony in it, could somebody tell me if there's a way to force the characters? I just want to produce the same effect, which happens using these characters and I have no idea how I can achieve it. Just putting in a Picture of the quote would kind of ruin the message in my scientific paper...

My not working representation of this Problem (MWE) is:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
There are three hard problems in computer science: 1) Converting from
PDF, 2) Converting to PDF, and 3) O̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳Ҙ҉҉҉ʹʹ҉ʹ̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̃༃༃O̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳Ҙ҉҉҉ʹʹ҉ʹ̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̃༃༃ʹʹ҉ʹ̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̃༃༃
--Marseille Folog
\end{document}

And the result is just:

Thank you for your help!

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — Stefan Pinnow, Jul 28 '20 at 08:10
please provide a small complete document that produces the error that you show it is much harder to guess how to debug disconnected fragments. Also do you want this to work with pdftex or xetex or luatex, your question is mostly about font support for weird characters but you give no information about what fonts you are using — David Carlisle, Jul 28 '20 at 08:10
Hi and welcome. Where did you get the \CYRZDSC macro? For someone to help you, give him an MWE as instructed here: How to make a “minimum example” — AndréC, Jul 28 '20 at 08:11
To be honest, the supplied error code was not the best representation of the errors occuring. I replaced it more elaborately and fitting to the new MWE. Thanks for the input :) — THEPADA, Jul 28 '20 at 08:25
You won't be able to compile that with pdflatex, because the text uses combining characters that pdflatex is unable to comply with. — egreg, Jul 28 '20 at 08:33
You'll have to use LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX instead. For me, DejaVu Sans and Noto Sans Tibetan give an acceptable result when compared with the original quote on Twitter. — , Jul 28 '20 at 08:40
@egreg Is there a way to get the same effect as seen above with pdflatex (the encoding problems occuring in the md quote above)? I was hoping for a kind of -f approach or a trick to get the same effect :) — THEPADA, Jul 28 '20 at 08:41
You could compile your gibberish text (sorry, not pejorative) using XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX via standalone and then loading it as an image, but IMO it's a really ugly solutions. As egreg said, pdflatex alone is incapable to deal with your input. — , Jul 28 '20 at 08:44
I suppose you could try stacking them with substack or something. But the best approach would probably be to save the graphic you want as an image, such as a standalone PDF, and include it. — Davislor, Jul 28 '20 at 08:45
Fundamentally, there is no way to “force LaTeX to accept character.” PDFLaTeX is an 8-bit engine that was hacked to handle precomposed UTF-8 characters. It doesn’t do combining characters. Even if it did, the 8-bit fonts it uses would not contain them. You need a modern engine. — Davislor, Jul 28 '20 at 08:52

In short, as others said, pdf(la)tex won't work, so you could 1) use another engine, as XeTeX or LuaTeX, or 2) embed a (PDF) output.

The following, after some trial and error, worked for me:

%Compile with xelatex or lualatex
%gibberish.tex
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{fontspec}
%Other fonts, as Noto, give weirder results
\setmainfont{DejaVu Sans}
\makeatletter 
%For Tibetan characters
\newfontfamily\@tibet@{Noto Sans Tibetan}
\newcommand{\tibet}[1]{{\@tibet@ #1}}
\makeatother 
\begin{document}
O̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳Ҙ҉҉҉ʹʹ҉ʹ̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̃\tibet{༃༃}O̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳̳Ҙ҉҉҉ʹʹ҉ʹ̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̃\tibet{༃༃}ʹʹ҉ʹ̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̃\tibet{༃༃}
\end{document}

And, if you want to use pdflatex anyway, do the following:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
There are three hard problems in computer science: 1) Converting from PDF, 2) Converting to PDF, and 3)  \includegraphics{gibberish.pdf}
\end{document}
