Old English Text Symbols: types, meanings and practical differences
Fraktur mathematical letters resemble blackletter or Old English display type, with compatibility limits to consider.
These swap your letters for styled ones. The result is text, not a font. That amounts to 62 copyable values here — 62 of them one character long, 0 longer.
Names such as Mathematical Fraktur Capital A, Mathematical Fraktur Capital G, Mathematical Fraktur Capital L, Black-Letter Capital R appear here, and counting every entry puts Mathematical Fraktur Small (26), Mathematical Fraktur Capital (21), Black-Letter Capital C (1) at the top. Single-character values span U+0030 to U+1D537.

The shape of this collection
Where old english text symbols sit in the code space
Counted across U+0030 to U+1D537, the general-category split is letter 52, number 10.
How the official names cluster
Counted across the stored entries, the commonest name patterns are Mathematical Fraktur Small (26), Mathematical Fraktur Capital (21), Black-Letter Capital C (1).
Sequence construction
Of the sequences, 0 rely on a zero-width joiner and 0 on a variation selector; 1 code points is the longest single entry.
Picking the right old english text symbol
Watch out for Mathematical Fraktur Capital A next to Mathematical Fraktur Capital G. They are different characters: U+1D504 and U+1D50A. Letter is the safe default at 52 entries.
Emoji or pictograph is the specialist choice, with just 10. Want colour? Pick one of the 10 emoji.
Want it to match your text? Pick one of the 52 plain ones. Test the result in the real app before you use it.
Old English-style output uses mathematical Fraktur characters and a few legacy letterlike symbols. It imitates blackletter visually without changing the destination font.

Old English Text Symbols explained in plain English
Short summary
You can copy any of the 62 old english text symbols below. 52 of them are letter. They come mostly from one part of Unicode: Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols. 52 are plain text. The other 10 are emoji, so your phone or computer draws them in colour.
How the 2 groups divide
Expect letter and emoji or pictograph. 52 sit under letter.
Encoding, and why coverage varies
They come from Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (47), Basic Latin (10) and Letterlike Symbols (5). Across U+0030 to U+1D537, support gets patchy at the newer end.
The pair people mix up
Compare Mathematical Fraktur Capital A with Mathematical Fraktur Capital G. Same shape, different code point.
Names repeat in families
26 names start with “Mathematical Fraktur Small”. The difference is at the end.

Fraktur characters imitate blackletter with mathematical code points
Old English-style output comes from the mathematical Fraktur alphabets plus historic letterlike characters. It changes character identity rather than applying a visual font.
| Input | Fraktur result | What to test |
|---|---|---|
| A / a | 𝔄 / 𝔞 | Confirm that the destination includes supplementary-plane mathematical glyphs. |
| C / c | ℭ / 𝔠 | The capital C is a legacy black-letter symbol with a nonconsecutive code point. |
| H / h | ℌ / 𝔥 | Some fonts draw historic capitals more ornamentally than lowercase forms. |
| Plain name | Character-by-character replacement | Mentions, search, pronunciation and moderation may not match ordinary spelling. |
Practical note: Use a real blackletter font when exact typography matters. Use Unicode Fraktur only where copyable mathematical-style characters are the intended content.

Tip: Pair anything decorative with real text. That is what search engines index and what screen readers announce.

How to use old english text symbols
Copying stores text, so the value survives the clipboard intact. Paste it with Ctrl V, ⌘ V or your device's Paste command.

Short display names and profile accents
Start with Mathematical Fraktur Capital A. It works nearly everywhere.
02
Headings in informal posts
When handling headings in informal posts, the 52 letter entries are the obvious pool, and let visual weight settle the final choice.

Keyboard entry for old english text symbols
Copying is quicker, but these are typeable too. On Windows the alt code is the character's decimal code point; in Word the hexadecimal followed by Alt X does the same job without a keypad.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 𝔄 | Mathematical Fraktur Capital A | Not available | 1D504 | 𝔄 |
| 𝔊 | Mathematical Fraktur Capital G | Not available | 1D50A | 𝔊 |
| 𝔏 | Mathematical Fraktur Capital L | Not available | 1D50F | 𝔏 |
| ℜ | Black-Letter Capital R | Alt 8476 | 211C | ℜ |
| 𝔚 | Mathematical Fraktur Capital W | Not available | 1D51A | 𝔚 |
| 𝔠 | Mathematical Fraktur Small C | Not available | 1D520 | 𝔠 |
The alt-code route requires a real keypad and cannot address anything above U+FFFF. 47 entries here sit above that ceiling. The complete keyboard guide covers every platform method in full.

How old english text symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Unicode keeps 76% of these in Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols. The rest come from Basic Latin and Letterlike Symbols. 52 act like letters.
They take the colour of the text around them. The other 10 are emoji. Your phone or computer paints those in colour.
A pasted entry is redrawn by the receiving application's font. Expect small differences in width and weight across devices, and larger ones where a font lacks the character entirely.

Common mistakes with old english text symbols
- 1
Mixing up Mathematical Fraktur Capital A and Mathematical Fraktur Capital G.
- 2
Thinking every one of the 62 works the same everywhere.
- 3
Treating these old english text symbols as interchangeable with the visually similar characters in cursive letter symbols.
- 4
Reaching for one of the 10 emoji entries where a text mark was needed, so the colour artwork clashes with the surrounding type.

Old English Text Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Mathematical Fraktur Capital A and Mathematical Fraktur Capital G?+
Different code points, similar shapes. Mathematical Fraktur Capital A sits at U+1D504 and Mathematical Fraktur Capital G at U+1D50A, so search, sorting and screen readers treat them as unrelated characters even where they look the same.
What is the HTML code for mathematical fraktur capital a?+
Write 𝔄 (hex) or 𝔄 (decimal) to get 𝔄. Numeric references sidestep encoding problems in older toolchains.
Which old english text symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+
Look for the 52 non-emoji entries. Those behave like letters — style them, colour them, put them in a heading. The 10 emoji entries are drawn by the operating system instead.
Which Unicode block are these old english text symbols in?+
Chiefly Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, which accounts for 47; the rest come from Basic Latin and Letterlike Symbols. That matters because a font either supports a block broadly or barely at all.
Which old english text symbol should I choose?+
Watch out for <b>Mathematical Fraktur Capital A</b> next to <b>Mathematical Fraktur Capital G</b>. They are different characters: U+1D504 and U+1D50A. <b>Letter</b> is the safe default at <b>52</b> entries. Emoji or pictograph is the specialist choice, with just <b>10</b>. Want colour? Pick one of the <b>10</b> emoji. Want it to match your text? Pick one of the <b>52</b> plain ones. Test the result in the real app before you use it.
How many old english text symbols are on this page?+
62: 62 single Unicode characters and 0 multi-code-point sequences, of which 10 carry emoji properties. They divide into 2 groups, the largest being letter with 52 entries.
