What are Symbol Fonts?
Symbol fonts are specially crafted collections of graphics suitable forthe web and for publishing in general. Each font contains a collectionof artwork representing logos, symbols, and iconic images.
A selection of free symbol fonts are included with FontPestle.

- Cool Text Fonts. This is a generator for text fonts of the 'cool' variety. I noticed people were trying to find a generator like fancy letters, but were ending up on actual font sites rather than generators of copy-paste text like this one. So currently this is basically a duplicate of the above, but I think I'll try to collect a few more 'cool' text fonts, like the old enlgish one,.
Symbol fonts try to solve a couple of problems for web designers. Fontstheoretically offer a single file that can be downloaded and used on aweb site. The symbols embedded within the font can be displayed on thesiteโs web pages at any size with different styles applied by CascadingStyle Sheet (CSS) transformations.
Offering a single font file that encompassed multiple resolutions couldspeed up web pages and reduce the workload for designers. One font coulddeal seemlessly with desktop and mobile users.

Problems with Symbol Fonts
In an ideal world, symbol fonts would just work. We would have a greatway to package resolution independent artwork in a quick to downloadformat.
The promise of symbol fonts has not matched reality. The real world iscomplex. The problems of varied web browsers, less-than-current clients,and the need to serve multiple forms of the same font file depending onplatform, have all made symbol fonts tricky to get right.
How Font Pestle Helps
Font Pestle offers a pragmatic approach.
Create the graphics you need today from the symbol font and use thosefiles directly. It is a tried and tested path that works.
Sometimes you just need a handful of symbols from a font at a particularsize. Font Pestle lets you get these symbols in the format you want.Font Pestle can export both bitmap and vector graphics from a symbolfont. Bitmaps are great for the web and vectors for printing.

Text Font Generator
This text font generator allows you to convert normal text into different text fonts that you can copy and paste into Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit and most other places on the internet. The different text fonts are all a part of the Unicode standard which means that they're not like normal fonts. If they were normal fonts you wouldn't be able to copy and paste them anywhere.
If you're wondering why on Earth it's possible to copy these fonts and paste them in your social media posts, then here's the quick explanation: Unicode is a standards body for the whole international computing industry which works on creating a list of all possible textual characters that should be available on all devices (phones, tablets, computers, ...). Most large companies in the computing industry (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Canonical, ...) comply with the Unicode standard or at least some portion of it.
Unicode specifies over 100,000 different characters across hundreds of languages and symbol sets. So rather than each computer company inventing their own set of symbols, they can just use Unicode's set. This essentially means that Unicode symbols work almost everywhere.
But here's where we get back to text fonts: Amongst the thousands of symbols in Unicode is the normal alphabetic symbols (the ones you're reading right now), but also a number of other alphabets which are different in some way. There are also thousands of characters which look like letters from the Latin alphabet, but are really symbols from other symbols sets and languages. Either way, we can pick out all sorts of symbols from the Unicode standard and use them to construct all sorts of novel textual font styles which we can copy and paste.
Here are some text fonts you can generate with this site:
- ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ which comes in two different styles.
- ฮฑ โฆโพ๐๏ฝ๏ฝ ็ชแถคะ ๐ โฑ ๏ผณะ๐ฆะฒฯโล which is generated from hundreds of different Unicode sets.
- ๐ถ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐ ๐ปโก๐๐ ๐๐พ๐๐ฝ ๐โ๐๐ ๐๐๐ธ๐ฟ๐พ๐ ๐ - this one replaces all o's with a random heart or flower emoji
- ๐ช ๐ฌ๐พ๐ป๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ธ๐ท๐ฝ that comes in two different styles (bold and normal)
- ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐-๐ค๐ฅ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ
- สuoษ สxวส spษนษสสษษq puษ uสop วpฤฑsdn uษ
- ๐ ฐ ๐ ฑ๐ ป๐ พ๐ ฒ๐ บ๐ ๐๐ ด๐๐ ๐ ต๐ พ๐ ฝ๐
And many, many more.
If you come across other text fonts that I should include in this generator, please let me know! I'll add it to this generator and my other ones which are copies of this (like fancy text generator). The reason there are a few copies is because my analytics showed people where searching for a 'fancy text' type generator with different keywords and Google wasn't showing the correct results.
Copy and Paste
Font Poster
A quick note on copying and pasting Unicode text: Some website actually prevent special unicode characters from showing by 'sanitising' your post (deleteing all wierd characters) before saving your post to the server. This isn't common, but it's worth knowing. If that happens, it's not a problem with this translator, it just means the website doesn't allow special characters. Another thing you might come across when you copy and paste text fonts from this generator is that characters may show up as squares when you paste them. This means that the font which is being used by the website where you pasted the font doesn't support special unicode characters. Again, this is unavoidable :( Unicode is becoming more and more common though, so things are getting better.
And one final note: If you copy and paste the fonts in a messenger program or an SMS/text message, then the recipient may not actually see the characters like you see them. They may see blocks or perhaps nothing at all. Though this is rare, it does happen becomes some devices don't support as much of the Unicode symbol set as yours does.
Thanks for using my text fonts generator! I also made an emoji translator, a wingdings translator, and a glitch text generator which you might like to check out!
