The alphabet in a real blackletter font
Drawn with UnifrakturMaguntia. Its shapes differ a little from the Unicode letters above, because every font draws Fraktur in its own way.
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not uploaded or saved. The copy-and-paste styles are Unicode symbols and the image uses a bundled blackletter font; neither needs an account.
Reading the chart
Each box shows a gothic letter with its plain letter underneath. Copy buttons put a whole row of capitals or small letters on your clipboard. The second chart uses a real blackletter font; download it as a PNG or print it as a reference sheet.
Letters that are easy to mix up
Blackletter capitals are ornate, and a few look alike. These pairs are confusing in the real-font chart:
- 𝔅 (B) and 𝔙 (V): both are round capitals with a curled top and look alike at small sizes.
- ℑ (I) and 𝔍 (J): the two capitals are close in shape, so context helps.
- 𝔑 (N) and ℜ (R): both have a curled left side and look alike at small sizes.
- ℭ (C) and 𝔈 (E): E looks like C with a short bar in the middle.
- 𝔫 (n) and 𝔲 (u): the small u looks like the small n turned upside down.
A note on the word “gothic”
“Gothic” is a popular name for blackletter. It should not be confused with the alphabet of the Gothic language or with sans-serif typefaces sometimes called Gothic.
Common questions
Why do the two charts look different?
The first chart is Unicode letters drawn by your device’s own font. The second uses UnifrakturMaguntia, whose shapes are its own design.
Is there a Fraktur digit set?
No. Unicode has no Fraktur digits; bold digits are the closest match.
