From defaults.ini:

## Some authors use 'Zalgo' text--arbitrary and often excessive
## added/combined unicode markings--to indicate 'noise' of some kind.
## While a critical part of some languages, when over used it can also
## cause problems for some ebook readers, such as Kindle.
## https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6579844/how-does-zalgo-text-work
## This setting will reduce the number 'Zalgo' characters.  Set to 0
## to remove all of them, -1 or leave undefined for no limit.
## Note: This will also remove other 'marked' unicode characters. If
## set to 0, café will become cafe, déjà -> deja, etc.  1 will keep
## single marks and is the recommended setting if you use it.
#max_zalgo:1

So put max_zalgo:1 (or a few more if you prefer) in your personal.ini and re-download (Overwrite Always) that story. It's up to you if you want the setting in [defaults] (affect all stories), [archiveofourown.org] (all AO3 stories) or [https://archiveofourown.org/works/17843429/] (just this story.)
