How to use the negative circled text tool
- Type or paste into Your text.
- See the filled circles in Styled text; lowercase letters become capitals.
- Press Copy and paste the result.
What it does and when to use it
Solid circles catch the eye more than outlines, which makes them good for badges and markers: a π ’π π π π π €π £ tag on a listing, βΆ β· βΈ step numbers in a recipe posted as plain text, or a short clan name. The filled part is drawn in the text colour, so on a dark-mode screen the circles turn light with dark letters. Check how they look in both themes.
For the hollow version, use the bubble text generator. Filled squares are in the square text generator. To see both next to 30-plus other looks, open fancy text in all styles.
How it works
The tool swaps characters using three Unicode sources:
| You type | You get | Block | Code points |
|---|---|---|---|
| AβZ, aβz | π to π © | Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement | U+1F150βU+1F169 |
| 1β9 | βΆ to βΎ | Dingbats | U+2776βU+277E |
| 0 | βΏ | Enclosed Alphanumerics | U+24FF |
Any other character, including spaces, punctuation and accented letters, is copied as it is.

Limits and tips
- Accessibility. These are symbols, not letters, to assistive technology. A screen reader may say βnegative circled Latin capital letter Vβ for each one or skip them, and search will not find the word. Put the plain text nearby when it matters.
- Older devices may show empty boxes for the letter circles, which were added to Unicode later than the numbered ones.
- The conversion is done in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
