Italic text is print lettering slanted to the right. In books it marks titles, foreign words and quotes; on social media it adds a softer, thoughtful tone. Type above to get 𝐼𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑐.
A Unicode curiosity: the missing «h»
The Unicode italic alphabet has a hole where «h» should be, because that character already existed as the Planck constant symbol (ℎ). The generator swaps it in automatically, so your word stays complete, but that's why the «h» can look slightly different.
Practical uses
- Titles of books, films or songs in a review or on Letterboxd and Goodreads.
- Quotes: the slant suggests someone else's voice.
- Foreign words like déjà vu or kawaii, as style guides recommend.
- Bold italic (𝑨𝒃𝒄) for stronger emphasis in short headings.
Italic is one of the most readable Unicode styles, so it handles medium-length phrases better than cursive or gothic.
