How it works
This bubble text generator puts every letter you type inside a circle or a square and hands back ordinary text to copy. It draws on 214 characters that Unicode already has: circled capitals and small letters, black circles, two kinds of square, and circled numbers up to 50. They are letters in bubbles, not puffy hand-drawn ones, and three of the five alphabets have capitals only.

Type once, copy the set you want
Type in Your text. The large card mixes circled capitals and small letters, and puts any number from 0 to 50 in a single circle. Under Same text, other sets are five rows, each with its own Copy: circled capitals, circled small letters, black circles, squares and black squares. The last three are capitals only, so a small letter goes into its capital's bubble. The five rows create bubble letters but not bubble numbers. Numbers stay plain, and a note in each row lists them.
Characters travel, typefaces stay home
A bubble letters font is a typeface you install. With an installed font bubble letters look right in your own documents, but a bio box has no font menu. This page works as a bubble letter font generator by swapping characters, so the bubbles travel with the text. The price is length. Every black circle and every square takes four bytes, and some apps count each one as two characters. The count beside each row's name counts each one once. Check it fits, under More options, flags any row over a limit you type.
What it cannot draw, and how to share
In downloadable fonts bubble letters are fat outlines to colour in. No text character looks like that, so this page cannot make them. Share copies a link that holds your text. Double circles and black circle numbers are only in the table of all 214, where a tap copies one. For a quieter look, try the small caps generator.
Tips
- To make bubble letters an older device can draw, stay with plain circles. They were in Unicode by 1993, and the black circles and both squares arrived in 2009 and 2010.
- Keep numbers at 50 or under. Circled 21 to 50 live in a separate block, Enclosed CJK Letters and Months, and black circles stop at 20.
- Black square A, B, O and P double as emoji. Unicode lists the first three as blood types and P as a parking sign, so a phone may draw coloured buttons mid-word.
- Put a space between bubbles in a short name. Circles set edge to edge read as a chain.
- Sites sold as a font generator bubble your words with these same characters. If a square shows as an empty box there, it will here too: the device's font does the drawing.
Questions and answers
Is this bubble font generator free?
Yes, with no account and nothing to install. This bubbly font generator swaps each letter for a Unicode character with the ring built in, and the swap runs in your browser. Every bubble letters website that hands you text to copy uses these characters, because there is no other supply.
Why do some letters turn into coloured buttons?
Five of the 214 characters double as emoji: circled M and the black squares for A, B, O and P. A phone may draw the emoji instead. Nothing on this page stops that, so check those letters after you paste. The black circles and the plain squares have no emoji among them.
What are the different types of bubble letters?
Drawn by hand, plenty. Cloud bubble letters have scalloped edges, water bubble letters drip, sharp bubble letters have pointed corners, and roman bubble letters are one more style. As text, Unicode has five alphabets in circles and squares, the whole supply for any bubble letters font generator. Version 16.0 added 36 hollow capitals and digits in 2024, left out here because older fonts show them as empty boxes.
Can I print bubble letters from this page?
Yes, as text. Paste the circled text into a document, enlarge it and print, and the circles come out as your device's font draws them. Letters to colour in or cut out need outlines. That is the job of a printable bubble letters generator, and this page does not draw them. This bubble letters maker is for screens.
Can bubble text be turned back into normal text?
Partly, and not by this bubbly text generator. Unicode links each plain circle, plain square and circled number to its letter or digits, so software that normalises text reads a circled A as A. Black circles, black squares and double circles have no such link, and a capitals-only set has lost which letters were small.
