Bubble (circled) text uses the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, each letter and digit sits inside its own circle glyph, e.g. Ⓗ (U+24BD) and ⓗ (U+24D7).

03 How it works
The exact Unicode characters behind this style, copy-and-paste, not real formatting.
How it works
- Circled capital A–Z runs U+24B6–U+24CF.
- Circled lowercase a–z runs U+24D0–U+24E9.
- Circled digits 1–9 and 0 run U+2460–2468 and U+24EA.
04 Troubleshooting & confusables
| Looks like it | But it's actually | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| A circle drawn round a letter | One character containing both | You cannot separate the ring from the letter, and it cannot be recoloured apart. |
| Complete coverage | Digits are a separate encoded run | Circled digits exist but come from different code points, so shapes can vary by font. |
| Readable at small sizes | The ring closes up | Bubble text becomes hard to read below normal body size. Keep it to short labels. |
05 FAQ
Is there a circled version of punctuation too?
No. Enclosed Alphanumerics covers letters and digits only. Punctuation and spaces pass through unchanged, so a bubble phrase keeps ordinary commas and full stops.
Where do the circled letters come from?
The Enclosed Alphanumerics block, with capital A at U+24B6 and lowercase a at U+24D0. It was encoded for list markers and diagram labels rather than decoration.
Does zero have a bubble form?
Yes, at U+24EA, and digits 1 to 9 follow from U+2460. They were added at different times from the letters, so their circle can look slightly different in some fonts.
Why is bubble text hard to read at small sizes?
The ring and the letter share one glyph box, so both shrink together and the enclosed letter fills in. Keep bubble text to short labels and headings rather than sentences.
Can I change the colour of just the circle?
No. The ring is part of the character, not a border around it, so any colour or size change applies to the whole glyph at once.
