How gothic text works

Gothic text, also called Old English or blackletter, uses the Fraktur letters in Unicode: π”Šπ”¬π”±π”₯𝔦𝔠 and the heavier bold Fraktur, π•²π–”π–™π–π–Žπ–ˆ. They are characters rather than a font, so they stay gothic when pasted.

How to use it

  1. Type your text in the box at the top. Until you do, the styles show β€œDark Ages”.
  2. The gothic styles come first. Tap one to copy it; styles marked PRO are part of Fancy Text Pro.
  3. Paste it wherever you like: a bio, a caption, a comment or a message.

Questions

Is this the same as a real blackletter font?

Not quite. Fraktur letters are part of Unicode for writing maths, so their exact shape depends on the device. For printing or a tattoo design, use a real blackletter typeface.

Are numbers gothic too?

No. Unicode has no Fraktur digits, so numbers stay plain.
