Italic Text Generator

Unicode characters, not an italic font

The result is not a font. Used as an italic font generator, this page gives you separate Unicode characters, each with a name and a code point of its own: a typed A becomes U+1D434, MATHEMATICAL ITALIC CAPITAL A.

Of the 52 characters, 51 are in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block and one is not. The names and code points are those of the Unicode Character Database, version 16.0.0.

Bold Italic, Sans Italic and Sans Bold Italic, the three other styles in the tool above, are made the same way and have their own tables further down.

The Italic alphabet, code point by code point

The capitals are one unbroken run of 26 code points, U+1D434 to U+1D44D, in alphabetical order. The small letters come in three pieces: a to g at U+1D44E to U+1D454, then h, then i to z at U+1D456 to U+1D467.

The small h is PLANCK CONSTANT

One letter breaks the run. A typed h becomes U+210E, PLANCK CONSTANT, from the Letterlike Symbols block. Its place between g and i, U+1D455, is unassigned. The other 25 small letters and all 26 capitals are in the main block.

Bold Italic, Sans Italic and Sans Bold Italic

Each variant changes the same 52 keys as Italic and leaves the same ten digits. None of the three has a letter out of line: the small h sits in the run with the rest.

Bold Italic

The names gain the word BOLD: MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC, then the letter. The capitals start at U+1D468, the code point after Italic's small z, and end at U+1D481. The small letters follow straight on, U+1D482 to U+1D49B, so all 52 code points are consecutive.

Sans Italic

Here the names say SANS-SERIF ITALIC, with no BOLD. Capitals: U+1D608 to U+1D621. Small letters: U+1D622 to U+1D63B, with h in its alphabetical place at U+1D629.

Sans Bold Italic

The longest names on the page: MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC, then the letter. Its capitals start at U+1D63C, the code point after Sans Italic's small z, and its small letters end at U+1D66F.
