Square Text Overview
Transform text into ๐ฑ๐พ๐ ๐ด๐ณ squared Unicode characters for clean badge labels, status tags, and tile-style typography. Perfect for Notion boards, Discord roles, and project management apps.
The square text generator transforms letters into boxed Unicode characters (๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฒ) that resemble clean badge labels and tile buttons. Copy and paste these squared letters into Notion boards, Trello cards, Discord roles, Asana tags, and anywhere you need compact, visually distinct status markers and category labels.
Badge Labels and Status Tags with the Square Text Generator
Square text uses characters from the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement Unicode block (U+1F130โU+1F149)โspecifically the squared Latin letters subset. Each character appears inside a rounded square border, creating a button-like or badge appearance that's perfect for labels, tags, and status indicators in digital workspaces.
Unlike creating graphics or using CSS styling, this tool maps each letter to its squared Unicode equivalent: "A" becomes "๐ฐ", "TODO" becomes "๐ ๐พ๐ณ๐พ". Because these are actual Unicode characters defined in the official Unicode specificationโnot imagesโthey remain selectable, searchable, and lightweight across all platforms.
The contained, uniform shape makes squared text ideal for project management, productivity apps, and anywhere you need visual organization without creating actual button graphics. The boxed appearance naturally draws the eye, making these characters perfect for labels that need to stand out in busy interfaces.

Step 4 - Paste: Drop it into Notion, Trello, Discord, Slack, or any platform. The squared characters render natively without fonts or plugins.
Square Text Design Tips
Squared letters create strong visual boundaries but work best in specific contexts. For optimal results when using boxed typography:
- Keep labels shortโ1-8 characters hit the sweet spot. Longer text loses the compact badge effect
- Use ALL CAPS input for maximum impact; the squared forms are based on uppercase letterforms
- Leave whitespace around squared labels so the box borders don't visually collide with surrounding content
- This style covers letters A-Z only; numbers pass through unchanged. For boxed numbers, try Negative Squared
- Screen readers announce these as "squared Latin capital letter A"โavoid for critical accessibility information
- Square text pairs well with regular text: "๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ ๐ : Project on track for Friday delivery"
- Consistent use of squared labels helps create clear visual systems in project management workflows
