Mathematical Script · U+1D4B6
H and e here are two of the 11 legacy 'Letterlike Symbols' exceptions — real Unicode script letters, just from an older block.
Cursive Text Generator
Cursive-looking Unicode text comes from the Mathematical Script block. Eleven of its 52 letters were never assigned their own code point — Unicode reuses older 'Letterlike Symbols' characters for those instead, so this generator uses the exact glyph Unicode actually defines for each letter.
Coverage measures this generator's mappings, not device rendering or destination-app acceptance.
Cursive Script
16/19 characters supported (84%)𝒮𝓉𝓎𝓁ℯ 𝓎ℴ𝓊𝓇 𝓃𝒶𝓂ℯ, 𝒥ℴ𝓈é 42
3 character(s) kept as original text (not supported by this style).
Details
- Letters
- A-Z, a-z (full, 11 letters use legacy script symbols)
- Digits
- Not supported
B, E, F, H, I, L, M, R (uppercase) and e, g, o (lowercase) render using older ‘Letterlike Symbols’ characters instead of the main script block, because Unicode never assigned those 11 slots in the newer block. No dedicated script digits exist.
Bold Cursive Script
16/19 characters supported (84%)𝓢𝓽𝔂𝓵𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮, 𝓙𝓸𝓼é 42
3 character(s) kept as original text (not supported by this style).
Details
- Letters
- A-Z, a-z (full)
- Digits
- Not supported
Unicode has no dedicated bold-script digit glyphs, so digits are preserved unchanged.
Gothic (Fraktur)
16/19 characters supported (84%)𝔖𝔱𝔶𝔩𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔢, 𝔍𝔬𝔰é 42
3 character(s) kept as original text (not supported by this style).
Details
- Letters
- A-Z, a-z (full, 5 letters use legacy black-letter symbols)
- Digits
- Not supported
C, H, I, R and Z render using older ‘Letterlike Symbols’ characters instead of the main Fraktur block, because Unicode never assigned those 5 slots. No dedicated Fraktur digits exist.
Bold Gothic (Fraktur)
16/19 characters supported (84%)𝕾𝖙𝖞𝖑𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖓𝖆𝖒𝖊, 𝕵𝖔𝖘é 42
3 character(s) kept as original text (not supported by this style).
Details
- Letters
- A-Z, a-z (full)
- Digits
- Not supported
Unicode has no dedicated bold-Fraktur digit glyphs, so digits are preserved unchanged.
What the characters actually are
How to use it
- Type your text.
- Compare regular script against bold script, and script against the blackletter/Gothic 'fraktur' look.
- Copy the version you want.
Limitations and compatibility
- Regular (non-bold) script: B, E, F, H, I, L, M, R (uppercase) and e, g, o (lowercase) render using legacy 'Letterlike Symbols' characters. They still look script-styled, but they come from a different, older part of Unicode than the other 41 letters — some fonts render them with a visibly different weight.
- Fraktur: C, H, I, R and Z are legacy substitutions in the same way. Bold script and bold fraktur have no such gaps — all 52 letters are direct Unicode assignments.
- None of the four styles have dedicated digit glyphs, so numbers stay in plain text.
- Accented letters and non-Latin scripts are preserved unchanged rather than approximated.
Questions
Why do some cursive letters look different from the rest?
See the exception table in our cursive missing-letters guide — it's a known, documented Unicode chart gap, not a bug in this tool.
What's the difference between script and Fraktur?
Script is a flowing, handwriting-style cursive; Fraktur is a blackletter/Gothic style, more angular and traditionally associated with old German typography. Both are Latin-letter Unicode blocks, not different scripts or languages.
Which is more widely supported, script or Fraktur?
We don't have first-hand comparative testing between the two, but both draw from well-established Unicode ranges with broad modern font support; the legacy-character exceptions listed above are the main coverage difference to know about, not general availability.
