How to use fancy text
- Type your name, bio or caption in the box.
- Find a style you like and tap Copy.
- Paste it into your Instagram bio, TikTok name, WhatsApp status or post.
Which styles work everywhere?
Bold, italic, script and sans styles show correctly on almost every phone made in the last few years. Bubbles, squares and upside-down text use rarer symbols, so check how they look on your profile before you post. Arabic and Urdu letters are left as they are, because these styles exist only for Latin letters and numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Why do these fonts work in an Instagram bio?
They aren't fonts. They are special Unicode letters, the same kind of characters as emoji, so they paste anywhere that accepts text.
Why do some letters show as boxes?
Older phones and some apps don't have every symbol. Bold, italic and script work almost everywhere; bubbles and squares are less widely supported.
Can screen readers read fancy text?
Often not well: they may read each letter as a maths symbol. Use fancy text for a word or two, not whole posts, so everyone can follow.
