What are Discord fonts?

Discord supports plain text by default, but you can make your messages pop using Unicode characters. These are special letters and symbols that look like different fonts—bold, italic, script, small caps, and more. They work in usernames, channel names, and chat because Discord displays Unicode the same way across all devices.

Why use fancy text on Discord?

Fancy fonts help you stand out in busy servers, add personality to announcements, and make usernames or roles more memorable. They’re great for server rules, welcome messages, and giveaways. Because they’re just Unicode, they work for everyone—no special Discord Nitro or bot needed.
