Both PC and Mac users sooner or later confront this problem: How do I get ö, Ä, é, or ß out of my English-language keyboard? While Mac users don't have the problem to the same degree, they too can be left wondering which 'option' key combination will produce a « or a » (the special German quotation marks). If you want to display German or other special characters on a Web page using HTML, then you have yet another problem—which we also solve for you in this section.

The chart below will clarify the special German character codes for both Macs and PCs. But first a few comments on how to use the codes:
Apple/Mac OS X
The Mac 'option' key allows users to easily type most foreign letters and symbols on a standard English-language Apple keyboard. But how do you know which 'option +' combination will produce which letter? After you get past the easy ones (option + u + a = ä), how do you discover the others? In Mac OS X you can use the Character Palette. To view the Character Palette you click on the 'Edit' menu (in an application or in the Finder) and select 'Special Characters.' The Character Palette will appear. It not only shows the codes and letters, but also how they appear in various font styles. In Mac OS X there's also an 'Input Menu' (under System Preferences > International) that allows you to select various foreign-language keyboards, including standard German and Swiss German. The 'International' control panel also allows you to set your language options.
Apple/ Mac OS 9
Instead of the Character Palette, the older Mac OS 9 has 'Key Caps.' That feature lets you see which keys produce which foreign symbols. To view Key Caps, click on the multicolored Apple symbol at the top left, scroll down to 'Key Caps' and click. When the Key Caps window is visible, press the 'option/alt' key to see the special characters it produces. Pressing the 'shift' key and 'option' simultaneously will reveal yet another set of letters and symbols.
Windows - Most Versions
On a Windows PC, the 'Alt+' option offers a way to type special characters on the fly. But you need to know the keystroke combination that will get you each special character. Once you know the 'Alt+0123' combination, you can use it to type an ß, an ä, or any other special symbol. (See our Alt-code chart for German below.) In the related feature, Can Your PC Speak German?, I explain in detail how to find the combination for each letter, but the chart below will save you the trouble. In the same feature, I explain how to select various languages/keyboards in Windows.
Character Codes for German
These codes work with most fonts. Some fonts may vary. For the PC codes, always use the numeric (extended) keypad on the right of your keyboard and not the row of numbers at the top. (On a laptop you may have to use 'num lock' and the special number keys.)
For this German character, type:
Welcome! This page allows you to generate Discord fonts that you can use in your chats. Discord doesn't allow you to change the font by default, but using this generator you can get around that so that you can post more than just bold and underlined text in your chat messages. Using the above forms you can convert text into all sorts of different fonts including Old English / medieval / gothic style text, cursive text, double-struck, and many more. Here are some examples that you'll see if you put some normal text in the first input box:
German Style Font
- 𝔡𝔦𝔰𝔠𝔬𝔯𝔡 𝔣𝔬𝔫𝔱𝔰
- 𝓭𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓯𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓼
- 𝖉𝖎𝖘𝖈𝖔𝖗𝖉 𝖋𝖔𝖓𝖙𝖘

- 𝕕𝕚𝕤𝕔𝕠𝕣𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕤

The default Discord text stylings allowed are just those available through the markdown syntax. You'll notice that you can do much more than that using this generator! Another thing that you can't change on Discord is font size. So by default on Discord, small text is not possible, but using this generator, you can create ₛₘₐₗₗ ₜₑₓₜ that you can use in your messages! :D
How does this work? Well, all the characters that you're reading right now are Unicode characters. That is, they're specified in the Unicode standard - a universal language for converting binary into textual characters. This discord font generator creates fancy text by using some of the 100,000+ characters other than the ones on your keyboard. Some of the symbol alphabets used were introduced to the Unicode standard because they were needed by certain groups of people. For example, the 𝖔𝖑𝖉 𝖘𝖙𝖞𝖑𝖊 text was introduced because certain academics needed to use those style symbols to represent certain things in their equations. So there are other 'official' symbol alphabets in Unicode, but you've probably noticed some ㄖㄒ卄乇尺 fonts that don't quite look like the normal Latin alphabet. These ones are 'pseudo-alphabets'. These just use characters that look like normal alphabet letters, but are actually symbols from random languages or other Unicode character sets.
So there you go! I hope these Discord fonts are useful for all your Discord chat shenanigans, and please do let me know if there's any features/fonts that are missing by posting a comment below!
