Fancy text generator
Type a word or a sentence and see it in many decorative styles at once. They are Unicode characters, so you can paste them into bios, posts and chat names.
Runs in your browser: nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
How to use it
- Type your text in the box. All nine styles update as you type.
- Find the style you like and press its Copy button.
- Paste it into your profile, post or message.
How it works
Each letter A to Z is replaced by the matching letter in another Unicode block. Bold, italic, script, fraktur, double-struck and monospace come from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block; a few letters, such as script “B” or double-struck “R”, live elsewhere in Unicode, and the tool uses those. Circled letters and digits come from the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, small caps use the phonetic letters, and upside down uses look-alike characters written in reverse order.
Worked example
“Hello” in bold is 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 and in circled style Ⓗⓔⓛⓛⓞ. Each letter takes one code point, but in the mathematical styles it is stored as two UTF-16 units, so counts in some systems may be higher than the number of letters you see.
Tips
Be careful with usernames and passwords: many services refuse these characters, and fancy letters look like but are not the same as normal ones. For a line through text, use the strikethrough generator.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I paste these styles anywhere?
They are not fonts. Unicode contains whole alphabets of mathematical letters, circled letters and others, and each letter has its own code. A site that shows Unicode text shows them the same way.
Which characters are changed?
Only the English letters A to Z and, in some styles, the digits 0 to 9. Spaces, punctuation, accented letters, emoji and other alphabets stay as typed. Digits change in the bold, double-struck, monospace and circled styles only.
Why do some letters show as empty boxes?
The device or the app lacks a font with those characters. The mathematical letters are widely supported on current phones and computers, but older systems and some apps may show boxes.
Are these styles accessible?
No. Screen readers may spell out each letter with its long Unicode name, or skip them. Search engines and spell checkers also see unusual characters. Do not use them for important information, names others must search for, or long text.
