WhatsApp Fancy Text: How to Send Stylish Messages
Want to make your WhatsApp messages stand out? WhatsApp fancy text lets you send stylish, eye-catching messages that go beyond the default font. Whether you're using WhatsApp's built-in formatting or Unicode text styles, this guide covers everything you need to send creative, fun messages.
We'll walk through both WhatsApp's native text formatting and how to use Unicode fancy text for even more style options.
WhatsApp's Built-In Text Formatting
Before we get to Unicode styles, let's cover what WhatsApp already offers. Most people don't know that WhatsApp has native formatting built right in.
Bold Text
Wrap your text with asterisks:
*This text will be bold*
Result: This text will be bold
Italic Text
Wrap your text with underscores:
_This text will be italic_
Result: This text will be italic
Strikethrough Text
Wrap your text with tildes:
~This text will be strikethrough~
Result: This text will be strikethrough
Monospace Text
Wrap your text with three backticks:
\`\`\`This text will be monospace\`\`\`
Bulleted Lists (2024+ Feature)
Start lines with a dash and space:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
Numbered Lists
Start lines with a number and period:
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
Combining Formats
You can nest formatting:
*_Bold and italic_*
*~Bold and strikethrough~*
WhatsApp Fancy Text: Going Beyond Built-In Formatting
WhatsApp's native formatting is useful but limited โ just bold, italic, strikethrough, and monospace. For truly fancy text, you need Unicode styles. These are special characters that look like different fonts and work perfectly in WhatsApp messages.

- โ You're sending code or technical text (monospace)
Use Unicode Fancy Text When:

- โ You want to surprise friends with fun messages
- โ You need styles not available natively (cursive, gothic, etc.)
