Letters in filled boxes. Capitals only. Numbers stay plain.
These are Unicode symbols that look like fonts, not real fonts. Screen readers may read them one symbol at a time or skip them, so avoid them for anything important. Some apps, forms and games strip or replace them. Letters that a style has no version of stay plain.
Convert back to normal text
Paste text written in any of these styles. Letters and digits become plain A–Z and 0–9. Frames and decorative symbols you added stay as they are.
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not uploaded or saved. These styles are Unicode symbols, so how they look depends on the device and app you paste into.
Two kinds of bubbles
Outlined bubble letters, like ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ, have both capital and small letters, and the digits ⓪ to ⑨. Filled black bubbles, like 🅑🅤🅑🅑🅛🅔, come only as capitals, so everything you type is shown in capitals. Their digits ⓿ to ❾ are filled too.
The squared cards are the boxed cousins of bubble text, in outlined and filled form, and also have capitals only.
Emoji can change the look
Many phones draw the filled squared letters 🅰 and 🅱 as colored emoji, and some apps do the same for other letters. If your text turns into little blue boxes, try the outlined bubble style instead.
Common questions
Why are my letters all capitals in black bubbles?
Unicode has no small black circled letters, so the filled style is capital only. Small letters are shown as capitals.
Do bubble letters work in usernames?
Often not. Many sign-up forms accept only plain letters and digits, so test the field before you commit.
