Bubble Text Generator

How bubble text works

Unicode has letters that come already inside a circle or a square, used to label items in a list, such as Ⓐ, Ⓑ and Ⓒ. This tool swaps each of your letters for its circled or squared version. Because they are ordinary characters, they paste anywhere and other people see the bubbles too.

What each bubble style covers

The four styles don't have the same letters, because Unicode never filled in every set:

• Bubble: white circles with capital letters, small letters and the numbers 0 to 9. The only style that keeps your small letters small.
• Black bubble: white letters on black circles, plus black circled numbers. Unicode has only capitals here, so small letters come out as capitals.
• Square: letters in white squares. Capitals only, so small letters turn into capitals, and numbers stay plain.
• Black square: white letters on black squares, capitals only, numbers plain.

Why some black squares look like red emoji

Four of the black squared letters, 🅰 🅱 🅾 and 🅿, are also emoji in Unicode: the blood types and the parking sign. Some phones draw them as red or blue emoji buttons instead of black squares, so a word with A, B, O or P can look patchy. If that happens, use Square or Black bubble instead.

Bubble letters take more room

Bubble letters are wider than plain ones, so a name can wrap onto a second line where plain text would fit. On X, every bubble letter counts as 2 of a post's 280, and Twitter fonts shows that count for every style.

Usernames and handles, the part after the @, usually allow only plain letters and numbers, so bubble letters won't go there. Use them in your display name and bio instead.

Bubble text vs bubble letters for drawing

This tool makes text you can paste. If you want big, puffy outline letters to draw or print for a poster or a sign, that is a drawing style, not a set of characters, and it won't paste into an app as text.

Every other style, from cursive to small caps, is in the full list of copy and paste fonts.
