What is bubble text?
Bubble text is the Enclosed Alphanumerics family in Unicode: letters and digits drawn inside a circle or a square, added long ago for list markers and keycaps and now used everywhere a playful headline is wanted. There are four bubble alphabets - outline circles, filled circles, outline squares and filled squares - and a bubble text generator maps your letters onto all four.
Outline circles are the friendliest and the only set with lowercase letters and digits; the other three are capitals only, so lowercase input comes out in capitals. Filled circles and filled squares are the loudest, good for a single word in a heading.
The conversion runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.
What to know about bubble Unicode letters
- Circled letters come in upper and lower case (Ⓐ ⓐ) and have digits ⓪ to ⑨; the filled and squared sets have capitals only.
- Filled circles and squares are in the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block and render as colour emoji in some apps (🅰 🅱 especially) - test before you commit.
- Each bubble letter is wider than a plain one, so a bubble word takes about twice the horizontal space.
- Screen readers announce circled letters reasonably well ("circled A"), better than most fancy styles, but the filled sets are often read as emoji.

Both filled sets are capitals only. The A and B may show as the 🅰 🅱 emoji in some chats; the rest stay as symbols.
Common bubble text mistakes
- Expecting lowercase in the filled or squared sets - only outline circles have it.
- Using 🅰 or 🅱 in a name and being surprised by a red emoji: those two filled letters double as blood-type emoji in most apps.
- Writing a long line in bubbles; each letter is twice as wide, so a sentence wraps badly on a phone.
Bubble text generator FAQ
How do I type bubble letters?
There is no keyboard layout for them. Type the plain text here, copy the Circled card (or one of the filled or squared cards), and paste it. Each bubble letter is a single Unicode character.
Why are my lowercase letters capitals in the filled version?
Unicode defines filled circles and squares for capitals only. The outline circled alphabet is the one set with lowercase letters, so use that if the case matters.
Why do A and B turn into emoji?
The filled circled A and B (🅰 🅱) are also the blood-type emoji, and most chat apps render them in colour. The other filled letters have no emoji twin and stay as text.
Do bubble letters work in Google Docs and Word?
Yes. They paste as characters; outline circles render in nearly every font, and the filled sets fall back to the system symbol font.
