Style your Discord nickname, About Me, status or channel names. Tap any style to copy, then paste it into Discord.
Before you paste it into your name. Because these are different characters, not a font, a screen reader may read each one by its official name (“mathematical bold capital H”), letter by letter, or skip it, and search inside apps usually won’t match it, so people typing your name may not find you. Keep your name, @handle and anything important in plain text, and use styles for decoration. Tap the magnifier on any style to see exactly which characters you’d be pasting.
Display names, server nicknames, your About Me, custom status and channel names all accept Unicode, so these styles paste in. Your username (the unique @handle) is limited to plain lower-case letters, numbers, periods and underscores, so styled letters won't work there.
In messages, Discord already has real formatting that screen readers handle well: **bold**, *italic*, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~ and backticks for monospace. Use that in chat and save these styles for names and headings.
Friends mention you by typing your name after @. A nickname made entirely of styled letters is hard to type, so consider leaving a plain word in it. Some servers also set rules about readable nicknames.
