Old English & Gothic Text Generator
Turn text into Old English gothic letters (𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠, 𝕭𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖑𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗) to copy and paste into bios, names and posts, with decorated frames for gaming names.
These letters are Unicode characters, not a font file. For a tattoo, a logo or printing, use a real blackletter font (Old English Text, UnifrakturMaguntia, Pirata One and others) in a design program instead.
Screen readers may read fraktur letters by their Unicode names (“mathematical fraktur capital O”) or skip them, and search does not match them to normal words.

Old English or gothic lettering (blackletter) is the style of medieval manuscripts, newspaper mastheads and band logos. This generator converts your words into Unicode Fraktur letters that look like blackletter, in a regular and a bold weight, and adds decorated frames that are popular for gaming names. Because the result is text, you can paste it into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, X or a game profile.
How to use this tool
- Type the words you want in gothic letters.
- Choose regular or bold fraktur.
- Copy the result, or a decorated version from the table.
- For print or tattoos, use the preview to choose wording, then set it in a real blackletter font.
Formula
Fraktur letter = U+1D504 + position of the capital (A = 0) · U+1D51E + position of the small letter; bold fraktur starts at U+1D56C
Five capitals (C, H, I, R, Z) were encoded earlier as “black-letter” symbols in the Letterlike Symbols block, so the converter uses ℭ U+212D, ℌ U+210C, ℑ U+2111, ℜ U+211C and ℨ U+2128 for them. Unicode has no fraktur digits: regular keeps normal digits and bold uses bold digits. Accents stay as combining marks; other scripts and emoji are unchanged.
Example
“Old English Gothic” becomes 𝔒𝔩𝔡 𝔈𝔫𝔤𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔥 𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠 in fraktur and 𝕺𝖑𝖉 𝕰𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖍 𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖈 in bold fraktur. “Hello” shows the borrowed capital: ℌ𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔬.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this text for a tattoo design?
Use it only to preview wording. Unicode fraktur is drawn by whatever font the viewer has, so it changes between devices. A tattoo artist or printer needs a real blackletter font file at high resolution.
Is gothic text the same as Old English?
Not really. “Old English font” is the popular name for blackletter type, while the Old English language is the medieval ancestor of English. The letters here are modern English in a blackletter look.
Why do some capitals look different from the rest?
The five capitals C, H, I, R and Z come from an older Unicode block, and some fonts draw them in a different size or weight. Bold fraktur has no such gaps and looks more even.
