About the Unown Alphabet

Unown are odd little Pokémon shaped like letters of the alphabet. They showed up in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and have been mildly haunting people ever since.

They live near ancient ruins and look cryptic on purpose. This converter lets you write whatever you want in them. Use responsibly.

Unown alphabet FAQ

What is the Unown alphabet?

Unown are Pokémon shaped like letters of the alphabet. Twenty-six of them, one for every letter A to Z, first dug up in the ruins of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Line them up and they spell things, which is the whole point of this converter.

How many Unown letters are there?

Twenty-six for the alphabet, plus a “!” and a “?” added in later games. Twenty-eight shapes in total. This converter handles the twenty-six letters.

Is the Unown alphabet converter free?

Yes. Type, copy, done. No signup, no catch. The converter is free; the Johto Mono font that actually draws the letters is the part we sell.

Why does my copied Unown text look like normal letters?

The shapes come from the Johto Mono font. On this page it's loaded for you. Paste the text somewhere that doesn't have Johto Mono installed and it falls back to plain letters, so install the font wherever you want the real Unown to show up.

Can I use Unown text on Instagram, Discord, or anywhere else?

Only where the Johto Mono font is available. Unown aren't Unicode characters, they're glyphs inside our font. Social apps that won't let you embed a font will show plain text. In your own designs, games, and documents it looks exactly right.

What can I do with Unown text?

Hide messages, label a fan game, decorate ruins of your own making. It's a cipher with a cult following. Use responsibly.
