Circled letters and numbers for decorative text
This tool maps letters and digits to the Unicode Enclosed Alphanumerics block, drawing each character inside a circle. The result works well for stylised bios, numbered lists and decorative posts, and it survives copy-paste because each circle is its own code point.
How it works
The block is mostly contiguous and the tool handles three ranges plus one special case:
A-Z → U+24B6 .. U+24CF (Ⓐ .. Ⓩ)
a-z → U+24D0 .. U+24E9 (ⓐ .. ⓩ)
1-9 → U+2460 .. U+2468 (① .. ⑨)
0 → U+24EA (⓪, separate from 1-9)
Each character is converted by adding its offset to the matching base, while the zero is handled as a one-off because it lives outside the 1-9 sequence.
Tips and notes
- Use circled digits for compact numbered lists where you cannot use real list formatting.
- Spaces and punctuation pass through unchanged so words stay legible.
- As with all Unicode styling, treat it as decorative — screen readers may read the characters oddly, so keep critical content in plain text too.
