WhatsApp Fonts

WhatsApp already formats messages with symbols. Use Unicode styles for your name, About line and status, where those symbols don’t work.

WhatsApp’s built-in formatting

Inside messages, use these first. They’re accessible and searchable.

*bold*  _italic_  ~strikethrough~  ```monospace```  `inline code`  > quote  - list

Formatting symbols vs. fonts

WhatsApp’s own formatting only works inside messages. Unicode styles work in every text field, including your name and group names. And they keep their look if someone forwards your message to another app.

Want every style at once? The fancy text generator casts all of them from one box, and how Unicode fonts work shows what’s going on under the hood.

Questions people ask

How do I change the font on WhatsApp?

For messages, wrap words in * for bold, _ for italic, ~ for strike or ``` for monospace. For names and About, paste a style from this page.

Will my contacts see the fancy font?

Yes. The style is in the characters, so anyone with a current phone sees it.
