How to use it
- 1Type your name, gamer tag or phrase.
- 2Compare regular and bold Fraktur; the bold one is easier to read at small sizes.
- 3Tap or click the version you like to copy it.
- 4Paste it into your profile, game or post and check that every letter shows up.
The letters come from Unicode's mathematical Fraktur set, so they paste as text anywhere, no font install needed. Blackletter gets hard to read in long passages; it shines in a name, a title or one dramatic word.
Frequently asked questions
Close enough for styling text. “Old English” is the everyday name for blackletter lettering, and Fraktur is one of its best-known forms. Despite the name, the typeface has nothing to do with the Old English language.
In regular Fraktur those five capitals (ℭ, ℌ, ℑ, ℜ, ℨ) already existed in Unicode before the full alphabet was added, so those characters are used. Your device may draw them with another font, which can make them look slightly off. Bold Fraktur doesn't have this quirk.
Bold gothic has thicker strokes and holds up better in small usernames and comments. Regular Fraktur looks finer and more authentic, but some lowercase letters are hard to tell apart at small sizes.
Unicode has no Fraktur digits. Regular gothic keeps plain numbers, while bold gothic pairs with bold numbers so digits don't look thin next to the heavy letters.
It depends on the game. Many accept Unicode letters, others reject them or show empty boxes. Try the name in the rename screen before you commit to a change, and keep a plain backup ready.
Keep it short. Screen readers may read Fraktur letters as math symbols or skip them, and blackletter slows down sighted readers too. Use it for a name or heading and write the rest in plain text.
