Text Styles You Can Copy and Paste

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

Every tool here turns a typed line into characters that already look styled, so the look survives a copy and a paste into a box with no font menu. None of them is a font.

More about these tools

Some pages 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. 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.
