Old English Translator — Gothic Text Generator
Translate text into Old English / Fraktur gothic letters. One-tap copy for tattoos drafts, gamer tags, Instagram and Discord names. Free.
The fraktur version updates as you type — tap Copy.
This Old English translator turns plain text into the blackletter Fraktur style you see on medieval manuscripts, tattoo designs and classic newspaper mastheads.
The output is pure Unicode text — paste it into Discord names, Instagram bios, gamer tags or anywhere you want that gothic, old-world look.
Examples
Full character map
Every letter and digit the Fraktur style converts, generated by the same engine that powers the tool above — so this table and the live output can never drift apart. A dash means the style has no variant for that character and it comes out unchanged.
Uppercase A–Z
Lowercase a–z
Digits 0–9
Coverage
Partial coverage: 26 of 26 uppercase, 26 of 26 lowercase and 0 of 10 digits have a dedicated variant in Fraktur. Left in plain text: digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Those characters keep their normal shape, so a converted word can visibly mix two alphabets — worth knowing if the string has to look uniform where it lands.
Numbers stay readable rather than styled — useful when a phone number, score or year has to remain legible, and the reason this style is often picked for usernames with digits in them.
Length behaviour
One character in, one character out — measured 1.00× on the alphabet. A 20-character username stays 20 characters, which is why this style survives fields with tight limits such as game nicknames or profile names.
Is it reversible?
Not losslessly. Characters without a variant are left alone and the mapping is not one-to-one, so a round trip through the style can come back slightly different. Keep the plain version if you may need to undo the effect later.
Pasting and platform support
These are ordinary Unicode characters rather than images, so they paste as text into Discord, Instagram, TikTok, X, WhatsApp, Roblox, Minecraft chat and any other field that accepts Unicode. Whether a specific app shows them depends on the fonts installed on the device doing the rendering, so preview the result on the phone you will publish from. The symbol library is handy for padding a styled name with matching decorations.

Will it work in my game name?
Most games that accept Unicode names will display it. A few games filter special characters — just test it in the name field.
