ASCII characters are the first 128 symbols of Unicode, and these are the things that you’re reading right now.But there are far more than 128 symbols in Unicode, and it just so happens that there are quite a few that look a bit like the normal Latin alphabet i.e. that look like English text). Okay, so there are a bunch more characters than the ones on your keyboard, but how do we generate bold/italic/fancy text that can be copy-pasted away from this site and into another one.
We can take advantage of that to make «pseudo-alphabets» which resemble normal ASCII text, but which have certain differences such as being bolder, or italic, or even upside down! These «alphabets» often aren’t perfect — they’re basically «Unicode hacks» which take advantage of various symbols from different sets all throughout the 100k+ symbols in the standard.
Since the Unicode standard is so big, it’ll take many years for all the characters to be included in all the new devices, but it’s happening pretty fast, so it may only be a month or two until your browser/device supports the new cool symbols.
The term «font» actually refers to a set of graphics that correspond to some or all of the Unicode glyphs. You’ve probably heard of «Comic Sans» and «Arial» — these are fonts. What you’re copying and pasting above are actually symbols that exist in every font. So that’s how we ended up with all these funky text fonts. Of course, many of the above «fonts» aren’t «proper» character sets — they were put together into a set that sort of resembles an alphabet.
Will this changer work for Facebook or Twitter?
You can use them on Tumblr, Reddit, Amino, Discord, Spectrum, WhatsApp, WeChat, Viber, YouTube, QQ, SnapChat, Skype, VKontakte VK, Pinterest, and more! It is going to work on Facebook and Twitter even if you want to send someone a text message is going to work. So you don’t have to worry about whether it’s going to support or not. it’s going to support almost all kinds of smartphones especially if your iPhone then is going to support 100% but on Facebook, there are some limitation which is limited by Facebook itself, FB doesn’t allow all kind of fancy text so there is a limitation on site. But on Twitter, it’s going to work well.
