How italic text works

Italics add a tone of voice โ€” a quiet aside, a title, a sarcastic โ€œ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆโ€. Most social apps have no italic button, so this tool uses Unicode italic letters that keep their slant anywhere you paste them.

Sans italic (๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด) matches the look of most app interfaces. Serif italic (๐‘™๐‘–๐‘˜๐‘’ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘ ) uses โ„Ž, the Planck constant symbol, because Unicode already had it when the italic alphabet was added.

Questions

Why is the italic h a different character?

Unicode never encodes the same letter twice. The italic h already existed as โ„Ž (U+210E, the Planck constant), so the Mathematical Italic block leaves a gap and points to it.

Do italics work in Discord?

Discord supports *single asterisks* for italics in messages. Use this generator for places without markdown, such as your display name or About Me.

Will italic letters show on every phone?

Italic serif and sans letters are in the fonts shipped with current iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Very old devices may show empty boxes.
