Bubble Text Generator – Ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ Letters to Copy
A bubble text generator turns normal letters into circled Unicode characters such as Ⓑⓤⓑⓑⓛⓔ, black bubbles such as 🅑🅤🅑🅑🅛🅔 and squared letters, which you can copy and paste into an Instagram bio, a Discord message or a WhatsApp status. Type below and tap Copy; it all runs in your browser.

How to use the bubble text generator
- Type or paste your text into the box at the top.
- Look at the four previews: white bubbles, black bubbles, squares and black squares.
- Tap Copy next to the one you like and paste it anywhere that accepts text.
Bubble letters are one of several Unicode letter sets; for tiny raised letters, the small text generator works the same way and pairs well with bubbles in a bio.
White bubble letters vs black bubble letters
White bubble letters (Ⓐ to ⓩ) are a complete set of capitals and lowercase from Unicode 1.1, while black bubble letters (🅐 to 🅩) are capitals only and arrived in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. That difference decides how your text looks: white bubbles keep upper and lower case, black bubbles turn everything into capitals.
| Style | Example | Unicode block | Code points | Cases |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White bubble (circled) | Ⓐ ⓐ | Enclosed Alphanumerics | Ⓐ U+24B6 – Ⓩ U+24CF, ⓐ U+24D0 – ⓩ U+24E9 | Upper and lower |
| Black bubble (negative circled) | 🅐 | Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement | 🅐 U+1F150 – 🅩 U+1F169 | Capitals only |
| Squared | 🄰 | Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement | 🄰 U+1F130 – 🅉 U+1F149 | Capitals only |
| Black squared (negative squared) | 🅰 | Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement | 🅰 U+1F170 – 🆉 U+1F189 | Capitals only |
Each bubble letter is a defined character with its own name, for example U+24B7 is CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B. It is not a normal B with a circle drawn around it, which is why it survives copy and paste.
Bubble numbers ① to ⑳ and ⓿
White circled numbers run from ① CIRCLED DIGIT ONE (U+2460) up to ⑳ CIRCLED NUMBER TWENTY (U+2473), with ⓪ CIRCLED DIGIT ZERO at U+24EA. Black numbers come from two places: ❶ to ❾ are DINGBAT NEGATIVE CIRCLED DIGITS (U+2776 onwards, Unicode 1.1) and ⓿ is NEGATIVE CIRCLED DIGIT ZERO (U+24FF, added later in Unicode 4.0). The generator uses all of them, so numbers in a name stay bubbled too.
① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨ ⓪ ❶ ❷ ❸ ❹ ❺ ❻ ❼ ❽ ❾ ⓿
Which bubble letters turn into emoji on iPhone
Five letters do double duty as emoji: 🅰 🅱 🅾 🅿 (blood types A, B, O and the parking sign) and Ⓜ (the metro sign). When they are followed by the invisible VARIATION SELECTOR-16, iPhone and Android draw them as coloured emoji; without it most apps show them as plain text. If a black-square word suddenly shows a red A or B, that is the reason, not a broken character.
Where bubble text shows up and where it breaks
Bubble letters are plain Unicode text, so they paste into any field that accepts text. What we can say without guessing:
| Place | White bubbles | Black bubbles and squares | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instagram, TikTok, Discord bios and captions | Accepted | Accepted | Free-text fields take any Unicode text |
| Instagram and TikTok @username | Rejected | Rejected | Only letters, numbers, full stops and underscores are allowed |
| Older phones and PCs | Usually fine (Unicode 1.1) | May show empty boxes (Unicode 6.0) | A device needs a font that has the character |
| Game name fields | Varies by game | Varies by game | Many games filter characters outside their own font |
Empty boxes mean the viewer’s device has no drawing for that character. The text is still correct; it simply shows up on newer devices.

Bubble text and screen readers
Screen readers read each bubble letter by its Unicode name, so Ⓗⓘ can be read out as “circled latin capital letter H, circled latin small letter i”. Use bubble text for a word or two of decoration, and keep important information, such as a shop name or a link, in normal letters.

Bubble text generator FAQ
How do I make bubble letters to copy and paste?+
Type your text in the box at the top of this page. The bubble text generator swaps every letter for its circled Unicode character, such as Ⓑ for B, and you tap Copy on the style you want, then paste it like normal text.
Why do black bubble letters have no lowercase?+
Unicode only defines black (negative) circled letters as capitals, from 🅐 U+1F150 to 🅩 U+1F169. The generator therefore turns lowercase into the same capital letters in the black bubble and square styles.
Why do some bubble letters turn into red emoji?+
🅰 🅱 🅾 🅿 and Ⓜ are also emoji (blood types A, B and O, parking and the metro sign). Phones may draw them in colour, especially when an invisible VARIATION SELECTOR-16 follows them. The other letters stay as plain text.
Can I use bubble text in my Instagram or TikTok name?+
Use it in your display name, bio and captions. TikTok and Instagram @usernames only accept plain letters, numbers, full stops and underscores, so circled letters are rejected there.
