Letters that can turn into emoji
Read from the Unicode emoji data. If your bio must look the same everywhere, choose a style that is not in this table.
| Style | Letters | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Bubble | Ⓜ | Some apps swap these letters for colour emoji. |
| Filled squares | 🅰 🅱 🅾 🅿 | Some apps swap these letters for colour emoji. |
| Letter tiles | all 26 letters | These are regional indicator letters. Phones draw them as colour emoji, and two in a row can merge into a country flag; this page adds an invisible separator between tiles. |
The seven bubble styles
Bubble puts each letter in a white circle, and Filled bubble uses black circles with white letters. Squares and Filled squares do the same with squares. Parentheses puts each letter in round brackets. Letter tiles use the letters that normally make country flags. Ringed adds a circle character after each letter.
Squares only exist for capitals, so lowercase letters are shown as capitals and digits stay normal.
Watch for emoji
Some letters in this family are also emoji. In the filled squares style the A, B, O and P can turn into emoji squares, and in the white circle style the M can. Letter tiles are the extreme case: every tile is a regional indicator letter, which phones draw as colour emoji, and two in a row can merge into a flag. We put an invisible separator between tiles to stop that, and we label the style May show boxes.
The table under the list names each affected letter. If your bio must look identical everywhere, choose Bubble or Parentheses and check the result on a second phone. The font test behind the labels is in the compatibility data.
