INSTAGRAM FONTS

Welcome! This site allows you to generate text fonts that you can copy and paste
into your Instagram bio. It's useful for generating Instagram bio symbols to
make your profile stand out and have a little bit of individuality. After typing
some text into the input box, you can keep clicking the "show more fonts" button
and it'll keep generating an infinite number of different Instagram font
variations, or you can use one of the "tried and true" fonts like the cursive
text, or the other stylish text fonts - i.e. the ones that are a bit "neater"
than the others because they use a set of symbols that are closer to the normal
alphabet, and are more consistent in their style.

The site works by generating a bunch of different styles using a large range of
different Unicode characters. So technically you're not actually generating
fonts, but instead I guess you could say you're generating Instagram-compatible
Unicode glyphs :) Want to learn more about Unicode? Read on...


UNICODE

Computers must store all data in a binary format - that is, with zeros and ones.
So each letter that you're reading right now is stored on my server as a series
of zeros and ones. That needs to go from my server to your browser, and your
browser needs to understand what those zeros and ones are referring to.In the
early days of computing, everyone had their own ideas about which binary codes
should refer to which textual characters - there was no universal standard
saying 01100001=a, 01100010=b, etc., but that changed in the 1980s with the
formation of Unicode. Unicode is an international standards body that works
towards a universal specification for text characters. Before Unicode was
formed, everyone had their own ways of storing and rendering text, and so
whenever two programs from different programmers or organisations had to "talk"
to one another, they'd have to build a "translator" so that they could
understand which codes referred to which textual characters.

Unicode had a bit of a tough time though, because all the different
organisations didn't want to change their whole system around just to comply
with this new spec. So Unicode had to introduce a bunch of different symbol sets
to support legacy systems. Over time, the number of symbols grew into the tens
of thousands, and today we're moving into the hundreds of thousands. Emojis are
also text symbols, and so the new emojis that are appearing all the time are
coming out of the Unicode working group.

So that's how we ended up with such a large and strange/fun array of symbols,
and that's the reason you're here! I've put together a bunch of fonts for
Instagram that should be fun to play with and use for your bio. You may want to
mix and match certain parts from different font styles.


TEXT FONTS OR TEXT SYMBOLS?

ASCII characters are the first 128 symbols of Unicode, and these are the things
that you're reading right now. But there are far more than 128 symbols in
Unicode, and it just so happens that there are quite a few that look a bit like
the normal Latin alphabet (i.e. that look like English text). We can take
advantage of that to make "pseudo-alphabets" which resemble normal ASCII text,
but which have certain differences - such as being bolder, or italic, or even
upside down! These "alphabets" often aren't perfect - they're basically "Unicode
hacks" which take advantage of various symbols from different sets all
throughout the 100k+ symbols in the standard.

The term "font" actually refers to a set of graphics that correspond to some or
all of the Unicode glyphs. You've probably heard of "Comic Sans" and "Arial" -
these are fonts. What you're copying and pasting above are actually symbols that
exist in every font. So the cursive text and other fancy letters that you're
seeing above are actually separate character, just like "a" and "b" are separate
characters.


COPY AND PASTE

So why doesn it matter that they're separate characters? Who cares? Well, you
do! Because if they weren't (i.e. if they were just normal fonts), then you
wouldn't be able to copy and paste them! You can't copy and paste some Comic
Sans into your Instagram bio because the symbols the you'd be copying would just
be normal ASCII characters, and the fact that they're rendered in one font on
one website doesn't mean that they'll appear as that same font on another - it's
up to the website owner to decide what fonts they use on their website. However,
if there's a set of unicode characters that looks like a specific font, or has a
particular style (e.g. bold, italic, cursive, etc.), then we can use them to
"emulate" a font that will work across different websites when you copy and
paste those "fonts".

So really, if I were to be really pedantic, this site should be called "pseudo
instagram fonts". But the current name gets the point across, and it's nice and
short :) So, anyway, that's why you're able to copy and paste these fonts into
Instagram.


COMPATIBILITY

One final note: You may notice that some of the font styles don't work on
Instagram. Unfortunately Instagram filters out some of the fancy letters and
symbols - probably because they don't want people to abuse certain Unicode stuff
like the excessive diacritics used in the "glitch text" font that you'll see in
the list.

Okay, that's all for now folks! I hope you find all these Instagram fonts
useful! You can keep clicking that "show more" button, and it'll keep
randomizing all the different symbol alphabets all day long. If you have a
stylish text font that you've created, or you want to share some feedback,
please share it here. I'm always playing around building new websites, so if
you've got any other ideas for text generators or text fonts, feel free to share
those too. 𝒯𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓀𝓈 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓅𝓅𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒷𝓎! ٩( ᐛ )و
