How it works

This vaporwave text generator swaps every letter, digit and punctuation mark for its fullwidth form, which Unicode keeps for compatibility with older East Asian encodings. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.

Wide on top, spaced out below

The large card shows Vaporwave, each character a full cell wide. Vaporwave, spaced out is the row under it. Unlike the script and gothic alphabets, this one has digits and punctuation: all 94 printable ASCII characters. The grid below adds 8 frame pieces and 14 katakana words.

Why Unicode has a second, wider ASCII

Older Japanese, Korean and Chinese systems mixed one-byte ASCII with a two-byte set whose characters filled two screen cells. That width is fullwidth, zenkaku in Japanese, and Unicode encoded it so text converts both ways without loss. The space got no wide form: U+3000, the ideographic space, stands in. Wikipedia's vaporwave article writes the look as ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣＳ.

Tips
  • Each wide character is one UTF-16 unit, so Open 24 hours still counts 13. In UTF-8 bytes it grows from 13 to 39.
  • Wave in katakana, ウェーブ, is no sea wave: Wiktionary lists a wave in acoustics or electromagnetism, a wave in hair and a stadium wave.
  • Unicode gives ▒ and ▓ an ambiguous width: wide in East Asian character sets, narrow elsewhere. The font decides how a fade lines up.

Questions and answers

Is this a vaporwave font generator?

It makes no font. Each character is swapped for its fullwidth twin in Unicode's Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, and the reader's device draws it. For a title drawn as a picture in neon or chrome, use the 80s text page.

What does the Japanese in vaporwave text say?

On this page, what its note says. The 14 katakana tiles are real loanwords with meanings checked against Wiktionary: ドリーム is a dream in the sense of an aspiration, プラザ came from Spanish, and モール, shopping mall, is also an older word for lace.

Will wide letters survive in a username or a bio?

They are text, so they paste anywhere text goes. A form that normalizes text folds all 95 back to plain ASCII, the wide space included, so a wide name can come back narrow. Some forms refuse them outright. Keep the plain line too.

Frame pieces 8

  • Left black lenticular bracket U+3010. Opens a frame. CJK Symbols and Punctuation. East Asian Width wide, so it fills a full cell like the letters.
  • Light shade U+2591. Block Elements. Unicode's note on it is 25%. East Asian Width neutral, unlike the two darker shades.

How this list was compiled: The 95 swap rows were generated by a script from the Unicode Character Database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt). The script stops unless every name is Fullwidth plus the name of the plain character, every row carries a <wide> decomposition back to that character, and the rows are exactly the characters that decompose that way to U+0020 through U+007E: U+FF01 to U+FF5E in the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, and U+3000 Ideographic space, which decomposes to the space. Section 18.5 of the core specification (https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode18.0.0/core-spec/chapter-18/) says the fullwidth form of U+0020 is unified with U+3000, that the block holds fullwidth forms of the ASCII block except the space, that the two-display-cell width is known as the fullwidth or zenkaku form, and that both widths are encoded for round-trip conversion with mixed-width East Asian encodings. East Asian Width values (F fullwidth, W wide, A ambiguous, N neutral) are from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/EastAsianWidth.txt and their definitions from Unicode Standard Annex 11, revision 46 (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/). Ages are from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt (every character in the file is age 1.1, released June 1993 per https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html), blocks from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt, and the notes 25%, 50% and 75%, the second name of Medium shade and the wave dash cross-reference from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt. The 8 frame pieces are the two black lenticular brackets and the three shade characters, alone and as short sequences. The 14 katakana words are Japanese loanwords. Each meaning and each borrowing language was checked against the raw wikitext of the word's entry on English Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ plus the word, for example https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ドリーム), and the script stops unless the definition lines quoted are in the entry. Words whose entry lists the sense only in compounds, or two unrelated words under one spelling with no clear lead, were left out. The folding of every swap row under NFKC was run, not assumed. All checked on 2026-09-19. Character names are the official ones in sentence case.
