Questions artists ask
How do I write letters inside circles?
Type your text and copy White Bubble (Ⓐ) or Black Bubble (🅐).
Do black bubbles have lowercase?
No. Unicode only includes capital black bubbles, so the generator converts your text to capitals.
How high do circled numbers go?
White circled numbers go from ⓪ to ⑳; black ones in the generator go from ⓿ to ➓.
