How italic text works
The Italic style uses Mathematical Italic letters, with capitals from U+1D434 and lowercase from U+1D44E. Italic text here is a set of slanted characters, so it needs no formatting and pastes as plain text. Bold Italic starts at U+1D468. Sans Italic and Sans Bold Italic come from the Sans-Serif ranges at U+1D608 and U+1D63C.
One letter is missing from the italic block. The lowercase h slot was already filled by the Planck constant sign β (U+210E) in Letterlike Symbols, so the generator uses that. Some fonts draw it a little differently from its neighbours.
Digits, boxes and search
Italic and Bold Italic have no digit forms, so numbers stay plain. Sans Italic and Sans Bold Italic do convert digits, but Unicode has no slanted digits. They use upright sans-serif digits, so the numbers do not slant. All four styles carry a low box rating. The Apple side was checked against macOS fonts and the rest was estimated from block coverage, with no device tests.
Apps treat styled letters as different from plain ones. A search for your plain name may not find your italic name, and a screen reader may read the letters by Unicode name. Keep a plain version where people need to find or hear you.
Fields on a platform can also refuse the characters. Discord allows special characters and non-Latin characters in a display name, while usernames are limited to a-z, 0-9, underscore and period.
Questions
How do I copy italic text?
Type your text, choose an italic style, and tap it to copy. Paste it anywhere that accepts plain text.
Why does the letter h look different?
Unicode put the italic h in Letterlike Symbols, as the Planck constant sign, instead of in the italic block. The shape can differ slightly by font.
Which italic style has slanted numbers?
None. Sans Italic and Sans Bold Italic convert digits, but to upright sans digits. The other two styles leave digits plain.
Can I use italic text in a Discord name?
In a display name, yes. Discord says display names may contain special characters and non-Latin characters. Usernames accept only a-z, 0-9, underscore and period.
Will search find my italic name?
Often not. Apps compare characters, and italic letters are different characters from plain ones.
