Square text generator for block-style names

Square text uses enclosed and block-like Unicode characters to create a compact retro display. It can suit arcade names, Minecraft-inspired labels, short headings, and tags that benefit from a rigid silhouette. The enclosed alphabet has uneven coverage, particularly for accented letters, so unsupported characters are preserved rather than replaced. Use the live converter to compare the result with real examples, then copy the version that remains clear at a small size. A missing font can display these characters as boxes; if that happens, choose bold or monospace text instead.

If you see boxes, clipping, or a rejection, return to plain text and test another option. The note below explains where it usually works.
