How this calculator works

Map basic Latin letters to the Unicode mathematical Fraktur alphabet. Regular capitals C, H, I, R and Z use existing letterlike symbols because their positions in the mathematical block are unassigned. Bold Fraktur has a contiguous alphabet. This substitutes characters rather than installing a font; rendering depends on the receiving app.

Formula

Regular uppercase base U+1D504 and lowercase base U+1D51E, with five legacy uppercase exceptions. Bold uppercase base U+1D56C and lowercase base U+1D586.

Worked example

ABC becomes 𝔄𝔅ℭ in regular Fraktur. In bold Fraktur it becomes 𝕬𝕭𝕮. Digits such as 123 remain 123.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an actual font file?

No. It produces different Unicode characters that look like Fraktur letters.

Will it work in every app?

Some systems lack suitable glyphs and show empty boxes. Copy a short sample to check the destination.

Should I use it for ordinary paragraphs?

Prefer normal letters for readable, searchable and accessible content. Mathematical alphabet symbols can be pronounced differently by assistive technology.
