How to put fancy fonts in your bio
- Type your text. Type or paste your bio, your name or one line of it into the box.
- Pick a style. Every style updates as you type. Read the note under it: some styles have no digits or are missing a letter, and those characters stay plain.
- Copy it. Press Copy beside the style you want. The styled text is now on your clipboard.
- Paste it into your profile. Open the app's profile editor, paste into the bio or name field, and check how it looks before you save.
Every style, and what it cannot do
Each style is a different set of Unicode characters, and Unicode did not encode every letter and digit in every one. Here is each style in this tool, shown on “Your bio 123”, with its gaps.
- Bold: 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐨 𝟏𝟐𝟑. Covers every letter A to Z and every digit.
- Italic: 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑏𝑖𝑜 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain. h comes from an older Unicode block and can look slightly different from the other letters.
- Bold italic: 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒊𝒐 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain.
- Script (cursive): 𝒴ℴ𝓊𝓇 𝒷𝒾ℴ 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain. B, E, F, H, I, L, M, R, e, g, o come from an older Unicode block and can look slightly different from the other letters.
- Bold script: 𝓨𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓫𝓲𝓸 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain.
- Fraktur (gothic): 𝔜𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔟𝔦𝔬 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain. C, H, I, R, Z come from an older Unicode block and can look slightly different from the other letters.
- Double-struck: 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕓𝕚𝕠 𝟙𝟚𝟛. C, H, N, P, Q, R, Z come from an older Unicode block and can look slightly different from the other letters.
- Sans-serif bold: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝟭𝟮𝟯. Covers every letter A to Z and every digit.
- Sans-serif italic: 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘪𝘰 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain.
- Monospace: 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚋𝚒𝚘 𝟷𝟸𝟹. Covers every letter A to Z and every digit.
- Small caps: ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙɪᴏ 123. Has no digits: numbers stay plain. Has no X: it stays plain. Small capital Q is a newer character, so older phones may show a box.
- Circled: Ⓨⓞⓤⓡ ⓑⓘⓞ ①②③. Covers every letter A to Z and every digit.
- Fullwidth: Ｙｏｕｒ ｂｉｏ １２３. Every character is double width, so the text takes about twice the room.
- Strikethrough: Y̶o̶u̶r̶ b̶i̶o̶ 1̶2̶3̶. Adds a mark after every character, which doubles the character count.
- Underline: Y̲o̲u̲r̲ b̲i̲o̲ 1̲2̲3̲. Adds a mark after every character, which doubles the character count.
No style has a styled form of accented letters (é, ñ, ü), other alphabets or emoji, so they stay as you typed them; Strikethrough and Underline still draw their line through them.
Use it with care
Screen readers may read styled letters badly: some read each one by its Unicode name, others skip it. Keep your name and key words in plain text.
Styled letters can also count as more than one character, so check the app's counter before you save. For what else belongs in a bio and on the page it links to, read what to put on a link in bio.
