Text Styles You Can Copy and Paste

Type a line once and copy it back bold, cursive, tiny, struck out, framed or borrowed from another alphabet.

Most tools here turn a typed line into characters that already look styled, so the look survives a paste into a box with no font menu. None of them is a font.

More about these tools

Some swap each letter for a twin from another corner of Unicode: the mathematical bold, script and Fraktur alphabets, circled and squared capitals, raised and lowered letters, or letters borrowed from Cherokee, Greek and Cyrillic. Some add a combining mark to every letter to draw an underline or a strike. Some wrap the line in hearts, stars or brackets. Two pages copy a character that shows nothing: the Braille blank and the zero width space. A few work by rule on the letters you typed. Most pages list the characters they use with their code points and say which letters have no styled form. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.
