When to use it
Bubble text is playful, so it fits a short label, a sale or a name for an account with a light tone. It makes a word look like a sticker.
Outlined bubbles include numbers, which makes them good for numbered steps or a rating. Filled bubbles are capitals only and much louder.
Some phones draw the dark bubbles as colourful emoji, so they may not look the same for everyone. The outlined ones are more predictable.
What styled text costs on X
These are not fonts in the usual sense. They are different characters that happen to look like styled letters, and X treats them that way.
| Where | Works | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Posts and replies | Yes | Each styled letter counts as 2 of your 280, so keep it to a line. |
| Display name | Yes | 50 characters at most, and styled letters use them twice as fast. |
| Bio | Yes | 160 characters. A styled job title or one styled word is plenty. |
| @handle | No | Handles only take plain letters, numbers and underscores. |
| Hashtags | No | A styled hashtag is not a hashtag. X won’t link it or count it. |
| Search | Poorly | Search looks for plain letters, so styled words are hard to find. |
The bigger cost is reading. Screen readers either skip these characters or read them out one by one, as in “mathematical bold capital H”. A styled word is fine. A styled post shuts out the people who listen to X rather than read it, and many people do. Keep the important part in plain text and use styles for decoration around it.
For the same reason, don’t put the point of a post in styled text. If the post only works when people can read the styled line, it doesn’t work for everyone. To see how much of the limit a whole post uses, paste it into the tweet character counter.
Questions
What are bubble letters?
Letters drawn inside a circle. Unicode has them for the alphabet and the numbers 0 to 20, originally for numbered lists and labels.
Why are the dark bubbles all capitals?
Unicode only has filled circles for capital letters, so lowercase letters are shown as capitals too.
Do bubble letters count double?
Yes, every bubble letter counts as two of your 280 characters.
