Unicode to Text Converter

Paste the styled Unicode text into the input field on the left. The tool automatically detects the Unicode font style and converts every character back to its plain Latin equivalent (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). The output appears on the right. Click the copy button to grab the plain text version. No settings or configuration needed.

Unicode styled characters (bold, italic, script, etc.) are distinct code points that override your chosen font. To use them in Times New Roman, you need to convert them back to plain Latin characters first. Paste the styled text into this tool to get the plain version, then paste that into your document with Times New Roman selected as your font. The same approach works for converting Unicode to Calibri, Arial, or any other standard font.

If you have received text that looks like styled or decorative characters and you want to read it as normal English, paste it here. The tool converts Unicode mathematical symbol characters, fullwidth letters, circled text, and other styled alphabets back to standard readable English text. Characters that are already plain Latin text pass through unchanged.

Yes. Styled Unicode text from social media bios, posts, and messages works the same way. Paste it into the tool and you get the plain text equivalent. This is useful when you need to quote, search, or edit text that someone has styled using a Unicode font generator. For generating styled Unicode text to use on social media, try the Unicode Text Converter.

The tool detects and converts all major Unicode styled alphabets: Mathematical styles (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Script, Bold Script, Fraktur, Bold Fraktur, Double-Struck, Monospace, Sans-Serif, Sans-Serif Bold, Sans-Serif Italic, Sans-Serif Bold Italic), Enclosed styles (Circled, Negative Circled, Squared, Negative Squared, Parenthesized), and Other styles (Fullwidth, Small Caps, Superscript, Subscript). Each detected style is labelled in the output so you can see exactly what was found. For bold text specifically, see the Bold Text Generator. For italic, see the Italic Text Generator.

If a character is not part of a known Unicode styled alphabet, it passes through unchanged. This includes standard punctuation, emoji, CJK characters, Arabic, Cyrillic, and other non-Latin scripts, since these are not styled variants of Latin letters. Characters from legacy font encodings (such as Anu, AMS, or Mangal) are also not Unicode styled text and cannot be converted by this tool. For removing other types of formatting from text, try the Plain Text Converter.

They do opposite things. The Unicode Text Converter takes plain text and generates styled Unicode versions (bold, italic, script, etc.). This tool does the reverse: it takes styled Unicode text and converts it back to plain text. Use the Unicode Text Converter to create styled text. Use this tool to undo it. For more decorative text styles, see the Fancy Text Generator.
