Calculator by Toolsloft ↗

Turn ordinary text into gothic blackletter Unicode you can paste anywhere, including apps that give you no font choice such as Instagram bios, Twitter or X posts, and Discord names. Type once and copy the medieval-style version out. The result is real Unicode, not an image, so it keeps working wherever you paste it.

How this is calculated

Each letter is swapped for its match in the Unicode Mathematical Fraktur block: lowercase runs from U+1D51E, and capitals run from U+1D504 with five exceptions. The capitals C, H, I, R, and Z are pulled from the Letterlike Symbols block (U+212D, U+210C, U+2111, U+211C, U+2128) because their fraktur positions are reserved. The block defines no fraktur digits, so numbers, spaces, punctuation, and any character without a fraktur form are left unchanged.

How to use

  1. Type or paste your text into the input box.
  2. The gothic blackletter version appears instantly in the output box.
  3. Copy it and paste it into your bio, post, or username.

Examples

  • Word: Gothic → 𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠
  • Letterlike capitals: Chris → ℭ𝔥𝔯𝔦𝔰

FAQ

Is this real gothic text or an image?
It is real Unicode text, not an image. You can copy and paste it into most apps and websites, and it stays selectable and searchable. It is not a downloadable font, so nothing needs to be installed by you or the reader.
Why do C, H, I, R, and Z look slightly different?
Unicode leaves the fraktur positions for those five capitals empty because the same glyphs already exist in the Letterlike Symbols block, so the generator uses those instead. They are still the correct blackletter capitals and may just render a touch differently from the rest depending on the font.
Why did my numbers stay plain?
The Mathematical Fraktur block only covers A to Z and a to z. There are no fraktur digits, so 0 to 9, spaces, punctuation, emoji, and accented letters are left exactly as you typed them.
