Check it fits: limit characters

Use these for fun, not for anything that matters. Screen readers read many of these characters badly or skip them, search cannot find them, and some apps strip them or show empty boxes.

All 3 styles on this page

Bold fraktur 𝕬𝖇𝖈 123 Mathematical bold Fraktur letters. Numbers stay plain.

Alternating caps, capital first AbC 123 Capital, small, capital, small, starting with a capital.

Strikethrough A̶b̶c̶ ̶1̶2̶3̶ A combining long stroke (U+0336) after every character.

How these styles work: none of them is a font. Each one swaps your letters for other characters that Unicode already has, or adds combining marks to them, so the result is plain text that can be pasted anywhere. The maps were built from the Unicode code charts, and a character that has no look-alike is left as it is.

How it works

This emo font generator sets your line in bold Fraktur, the heavy gothic alphabet, with alternating capitals and crossed-out letters in the rows below. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.

Heavy gothic letters first

The large card shows your line in Bold fraktur, 𝖗𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖞 𝖉𝖆𝖞 for the sample. Each letter is one character from Unicode's mathematics block and counts double where an app counts UTF-16 units: the sample is 9 characters typed and 17 units in bold Fraktur. Digits have no bold Fraktur form, so 13 stays plain.

Where the capitals land

Alternating caps, capital first gives RaInY dAy. Capitals take turns, and a space takes no turn, so the count runs across the gap: the d after the space is small because Y was a capital. Strikethrough adds a combining stroke after each character, the space included, so rainy day grows from 9 characters to 18.

For alternating capitals in gothic letters, type the capitals yourself: RaInY dAy in the box comes out as 𝕽𝖆𝕴𝖓𝖄 𝖉𝕬𝖞.
The dagger and skull for an emo name are on goth symbols, the notes on music symbols, one character to copy at a time.

Questions and answers

Is the emo font copy and paste text, or a real font?

Text. A font changes how letters are drawn, and pasted text cannot carry one. Here r becomes Mathematical bold Fraktur small r, U+1D597, a character, so the whole line pastes as text. A device with no font for it shows an empty box.

Where did alternating capitals come from?

Nobody is sure. Wikipedia's article on alternating caps cites the Jargon File's view that the origin of the practice is obscure, and lists other names for it, sticky caps among them.

Is this an emo text generator or a scene text generator?

Both names get used. Wikipedia describes scene as a youth subculture that emerged from emo in the United States in the early 2000s, so the looks overlap. This page makes the letters: heavy gothic, alternating capitals and crossed out.
