By the Fontwix team · Last updated

This page shows the letter B in different fonts, ready to copy: bold, cursive, gothic, bubble, small caps, upside down and many more. Each B font is a real Unicode character, not an image, so it pastes as text into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, WhatsApp, YouTube or a game profile.

Stylish B Letter With Symbols

Need a B letter design with a bit more personality? These versions add hearts, stars, frames and brackets around a stylish B. They suit monograms, profile initials and the first letter of a nickname.

Where People Use a Stylish B

B starts names like Bella, Ben, Brandon and Bianca, and it is the first letter of words people love to put in a bio, such as best, baby, boss and blessed. These are the most common places a stylish B letter shows up.

  • Best friend bios. A pair like 𝓑𝓕𝓕 or a bubble Ⓑ next to a friend's initial is a classic for pinned posts and story highlights.
  • Couple initials. Something like ℬ ♡ 𝒥 reads as a monogram and fits in a short display name.
  • The meme B. The red squared 🅱 comes from the blood-type emoji, and people swap it in for B or even other letters as a joke.
  • Business and creator names. A bold 𝐁 or sans bold 𝗕 gives a brand initial weight without looking messy.
  • Gaming clans. Gothic 𝕭 looks sharp in a clan tag. Keep it short, since each fancy letter can count as two characters in some games.

B in Different Fonts: Picking the Right Style

The B fonts on this page fall into a few families. Here is how they behave when you actually paste them.

  • Bold serif and sans bold (𝐁, 𝗕): the most readable b font style, and the one least likely to show as an empty box.
  • Cursive script (ℬ, 𝒷): the capital script B is older than the rest of the script alphabet in Unicode. It sits in the Letterlike Symbols block, because mathematicians already had a code for it. For handwriting rather than copy and paste, see our guide to writing B in cursive.
  • Gothic (𝔅, 𝔟): dramatic and old-fashioned. The lowercase gothic b is easy to read, the capital less so.
  • Double struck (𝔹, 𝕓): outlined letters that feel clean and modern.
  • Greek and Russian looks (β, в): these are real letters from other alphabets. They look like a B, but screen readers will read them as beta or ve.

Mixing two B fonts in one word rarely looks good. Pick one style for the whole name and use symbols for decoration instead.

Facts About the Letter B

B goes back to a Phoenician letter called beth, which meant house. The Greeks borrowed it as beta, and since alpha and beta were the first two Greek letters, together they gave us the word alphabet.

In English, B is often silent after M or before T. You write it but don't say it in lamb, comb, climb, doubt and debt. The b in doubt and debt was added on purpose centuries ago, to make the words look more like their Latin roots.

Look-alikes are common for B. The German ß (sharp s) and the Greek β both resemble a lowercase b with a tail, and the Thai baht sign ฿ is simply a B with a line through it.

Unicode Codes for Every B Font

Each fancy B has its own Unicode code point. The table lists them so you can type a character directly, check whether a font supports it, or use it in HTML and CSS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I copy a fancy B?

Tap any B on this page and it copies to your clipboard. Then paste it into your app with a long press on a phone or Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac).

What is the 🅱 symbol?

It's the negative squared B, which most phones show as the red B button emoji from the blood type set. It became popular in memes where it replaces other letters in a word.

Why is the cursive capital B coded differently from other cursive letters?

The script capital ℬ was added to Unicode early, in the Letterlike Symbols block, for use in math. When the full script alphabet arrived later, Unicode kept the old ℬ instead of adding a duplicate. It still copies and pastes like any other letter.

Can I use a fancy B in my Discord or TikTok name?

Yes, in the display name. Usernames on most apps only accept plain letters, numbers and a few marks like underscores, so keep the plain spelling there.

Is there a way to style my whole name, not just the B?

Yes. Type it into the fancy text generator on our homepage and every style appears at once.
