HOW TO

How to use it

  1. Type a nickname in any script. You can also click the symbols below to insert them at the cursor.
  2. Click any line under wrap in symbols, symbols between letters, or Latin styles to copy just that line.
  3. For older Korean games, turn on “CP949-safe only” and check that the byte count fits the game’s length limit.
ABOUT

Before you paste a decorated nickname

Nickname decoration leaves your letters alone and wraps them in symbols such as ꧁ ꧂, ★彡, or ♡, or slips a symbol between the letters. Unlike Instagram-style fonts, which only change Latin letters, this works for any script. If your name contains Latin letters, Latin styles such as script and bold appear as well.

Services accept different sets of characters. Instagram names and Discord nicknames take almost any Unicode character, while many older Korean games only accept characters from CP949, the legacy Korean code page. That is why each line carries a CP949 badge and a byte count. A line marked “Not CP949” may be rejected or turned into ? in such games. Games can also set their own rules, so even a CP949-safe name may be refused.

Screen readers read decorative symbols one by one or skip them, and decorated names are harder for others to search for. If friends need to find you, keep the symbols to a few at the start or end. Invisible characters make a name look blank, but many services block names made only of blanks.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a blank nickname?

Click the Hangul filler (U+3164) or the braille blank (U+2800) under invisible characters to copy a character that renders as empty space. Pasting it into a name field makes the name look blank. Many games and services block names made only of blanks, and their rules differ, so it may not save.

What does the CP949 badge mean?

Every character in the nickname exists in CP949 (Unified Hangul Code), the code page used by Korean Windows and many older Korean games. Such games often accept only these characters, so symbols outside it such as ꧁꧂ or ღ may be rejected or turned into ?. Games can add their own rules, so a CP949-safe name can still be refused.

Why show a byte count?

Games that set limits like “6 Korean or 12 Latin characters” usually count Korean and symbols as 2 and Latin letters and digits as 1. The byte count lets you guess whether a name fits before you paste it. It is hidden when the name contains characters outside CP949, because they cannot be counted this way.

Can I use these on Instagram or Discord?

Yes. Instagram names, Discord nicknames, and TikTok names accept most Unicode characters, including ones outside CP949. Usernames (handles) are different and usually allow only letters, digits, and a few marks such as underscores.

Can Korean letters be turned into script?

Unicode has no script or bold variants for Hangul, so Korean names are decorated by wrapping them in symbols or placing symbols between letters. Latin letters can be converted into 24 styles on this page or in Fancy text.
