Fraktur letters in Unicode

The Gothic look comes from Mathematical Fraktur (U+1D504 onward) and Mathematical Bold Fraktur (U+1D56C onward). Mathematicians use Fraktur letters for special objects, such as ๐”ค for a Lie algebra or โ„œ for the real part of a complex number. Fraktur itself is a family of blackletter typefaces used across German-speaking Europe until the 1940s.

Five capitals are not in the main range: โ„ญ โ„Œ โ„‘ โ„œ โ„จ. They were already encoded in Letterlike Symbols as โ€œblack-letter capitalsโ€, so Unicode reuses them. The generator fills them in automatically, but some fonts draw them in a slightly different weight. The bold Fraktur set has no gaps and looks more even, which is why many people prefer it for names.

Readability matters

Blackletter is dramatic but hard to read, especially capital letters: ๐”„, ๐”˜ and ๐”‘ are easily confused. Use it for one or two words, such as a name, a title or a clan tag, and keep the rest in plain text. Neither set has digits or accented letters, so โ€œ๐”๐”ฒฬˆ๐”ซ๐” ๐”ฅ๐”ข๐”ซ 1990โ€ keeps plain numbers.

Where Gothic text works

It displays on all modern phones and computers. It is popular in Instagram and TikTok names, Discord display names, Twitch panels, band and metal aesthetics and game guilds. Usernames generally reject it, search does not match it, and screen readers may read it as โ€œmathematical fraktur capital Gโ€. For tattoo lettering, use a real blackletter font in a design app; the Unicode version is a preview, not artwork.

Pair Gothic names with cross symbols, star symbols or skulls from warning symbols, or decorate them with the nickname generator.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Old English font called?

It is blackletter, and the style Unicode encodes is Fraktur. The generator offers both regular ๐”‰๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”จ๐”ฑ๐”ฒ๐”ฏ and bold ๐•ฑ๐–—๐–†๐–๐–™๐–š๐–—.

Why do some Gothic capitals look different?

โ„ญ โ„Œ โ„‘ โ„œ โ„จ come from the Letterlike Symbols block rather than the main Fraktur range, so some fonts draw them differently. Bold Gothic has no gaps.

Can I use Gothic text for a tattoo?

Use it to try out wording, but ask your artist to work from a proper blackletter font. Unicode glyphs vary between devices.

Does Gothic text work in Free Fire or PUBG names?

Many game name fields accept it, but some reject characters outside basic Latin. Test it before spending a rename card.
