How it works

This square text generator sets your line in Unicode's squared capitals and boxes the numbers too, as keycaps. Two more rows give black squares and boxes that keep small letters small. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.

Read the full guide

Three rows, three kinds of box

The large card, Squares, sets letters in outline squares and digits in keycaps, and swaps eight signs such as + and / for boxed ones. Black squares fills the squares in. The third row draws each box with U+20DE, a combining mark, so the fit is up to the font.

Why there are no small squared letters

Unicode has 26 squared capitals and no small ones, so the first two rows put a small letter in its capital's box. B, N, P, S and W came first, in October 2009. Unicode's chart credits all five to a Japanese television standard, ARIB STD B24: N is news, S is stereo broadcasting service. The other 21 followed in October 2010.

Tips
  • Type 10 as a whole number and the first two rows give πŸ”Ÿ, one character. 110 still goes digit by digit.
  • πŸ…°, πŸ…±, πŸ…Ύ and πŸ…Ώ are on Unicode's emoji list, as are 11 word tiles, so a device may draw them in colour.
  • The 41 word tiles are copy-only. Typing OK will not give πŸ†—, because the swap would also fire inside book.

Questions and answers

Is this a box font generator?

Yes, though nothing here is a font: each boxed letter is a character of its own. Squares lead here, with keycap digits, boxed signs and 41 word tiles; the bubble text generator leads with circles.

Does this square font generator box numbers too?

Yes. Unicode has no ready-made squared digit, so the first two rows use keycaps, which are emoji sequences of three code points: the digit, U+FE0F and U+20E3. The third row draws an outline box with U+20DE instead.

Why did my small letters turn into capitals?

Unicode's squared letters are capitals only. Squares and Black squares use the capital's box for a small letter and say so under the row. Boxes that keep small letters small adds an enclosing square, U+20DE, after each small letter instead.

What do πŸ†“, πŸ†– and πŸ†‘ mean?

Unicode's chart glosses πŸ†“ as free postage, πŸ†– as no good and πŸ†‘ as clear. It gives COOL, NEW and OK no gloss. The table under the tool gives the chart's note wherever there is one, the 18 broadcasting tiles of 2016 included.

Digits in a box 10

  • Digit eight in a square U+0038 U+20DE. The plain 8 followed by U+20DE Combining enclosing square. Unicode has no ready-made squared digit, so the mark is the only outline box for a number; the keycap is the emoji kind.

The marks that draw the box 2

  • Enclosing keycap U+20E3. The mark that ends every keycap sequence. Unicode's emoji list has keycaps for the ten digits, # and * only, so what it draws after any other character is up to the font. Unicode 3.0 (September 1999).
  • Enclosing square U+20DE. Paste it straight after any character to box it, a bracket or an accented letter included. It is how this page boxes small letters and digits. The Unicode Standard says enclosing marks were meant for free-standing symbols.

How this list was compiled: Built by a script from the Unicode Character Database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), checked on 2026-09-20, so no code point or name was typed by hand. The script counts 179 characters with the word SQUARED in their name. This file holds the ones built on a Latin letter, a digit, a sign or an arrow: the 26 squared capitals, the 26 negative squared (white on black) capitals, the 41 squared letter sequences of the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block (Square DJ included, whose name says SQUARE), the squared operators of the Mathematical Operators, Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A and -B blocks, Squared key, Squared saltire, Negative squared cross mark, Negative squared question mark and the eight squared arrows of Supplemental Arrows-C. With them are the APL quad signs that box a sign a keyboard can type and the four quad arrows (quad is the name of the box in those character names), the 12 keycap sequences of https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-sequences.txt with Keycap ten, and 36 sequences named by this site: a small letter or a digit followed by U+20DE Combining enclosing square. Left out: the 46 squared Japanese and Chinese characters of the Enclosed Ideographic Supplement, the 9 cuneiform signs and the 7 unit symbols of CJK Compatibility whose names use squared in another sense (the 2 of a square metre), Squared four dot punctuation, which is four dots and not a box, and Right open squared dot, a piece of terminal graphics with one side missing. The version that added each character comes from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt (which tracks versions from 1.1 onwards), its block from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt, the chart notes quoted in the rows (news, tobacconist, blood type A, parking area, box min and the rest, the ARIB STD B24 and B62 attributions, and the line that the square edges may be slightly rounded) from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt, which characters are emoji and which have emoji presentation from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt and emoji-variation-sequences.txt in the same folder, and the release dates from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. That enclosing marks are intended for free-standing symbols and that most software still treats the enclosed character as a letter or digit is from section 7.9.4 of https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode18.0.0/core-spec/chapter-7/; that many characters of the block were encoded for the Japanese television standard ARIB STD B24 and others for Japanese cell phone carrier emoji sets, and that APL is a programming language, from sections 22.10.4 and 22.7 of https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode18.0.0/core-spec/chapter-22/. That ARIB STD B62 is a broadcasting standard is from its own page at https://www.arib.or.jp/english/std_tr/broadcasting/std-b62.html, which names it Multimedia Coding Specification for Digital Broadcasting (Second Generation) in the list of standards for broadcasting. That emoji presentation means colourful shapes and text presentation a plain one is from section 2 of Unicode Technical Standard #51, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/). All checked on 2026-09-20. The word tiles have no typed form on purpose: the tool matches a longer key anywhere in a line, so OK would also fire inside book. Names of single characters are the official Unicode names in sentence case, with Combining dropped from the two marks.
