Text crowns vs. the crown emoji
There are two kinds of crown on this page:
- Text crowns β β β β are chess pieces. They are ordinary characters, so they take the color and size of the surrounding text and blend with any font. That makes them the better choice for names, logos in plain text and elegant bios.
- Emoji crowns π and π« are small colored pictures drawn by your device, so they look a little different on iPhone, Android and Windows.
π (CROWN) has been in Unicode since version 6.0 and works practically everywhere. π« (PERSON WITH CROWN) is much newer, from Unicode 14.0, so on older phones it may appear as an empty box. π€΄ prince and πΈ princess sit in between and are widely supported.
King or queen? Telling the chess crowns apart
| Symbol | Official name | Looks like |
|---|---|---|
| β | WHITE CHESS KING | Outlined crown topped with a small cross |
| β | WHITE CHESS QUEEN | Outlined crown with a row of points |
| β | BLACK CHESS KING | Filled king's crown |
| β | BLACK CHESS QUEEN | Filled queen's crown |
In chess terms, white means the outline version and black means the filled one, whatever color your screen shows. On a dark background the outline pieces can look thin, so the filled β and β usually read better in dark mode.
Outside chess, β is the go-to queen symbol and β the king symbol. Couples sometimes put β and β in matching bios, and β β together is a ready-made pair in the grid.
Put a crown on your name
Type a name or nickname into the name decorator and it appears in a list of crowned frames, for example:
- β Jessica β
- κ§β Jessica βκ§
- π Jessica
Click a version to copy it. Everything happens in your browser, so the name you type isn't sent anywhere.
Crowned names work in display names, bios, server nicknames and in-game names that accept Unicode. They don't work as an @username or handle: those fields normally allow only letters, digits, the underscore and the period. Keep in mind that each symbol and space counts toward a name's length limit, so a short frame like β Name β leaves more room for the name itself.
More royal symbols
The crown group includes the other pieces people use for a royal look:
- β fleur-de-lis, the stylized lily of French royalty, also used by scouting groups and as an emblem of New Orleans; βοΈ is its emoji form.
- π° castle, π ring, π gem stone and π¦ lion.
- β β chess rooks, shaped like a castle tower.
- The
πcrown with a trailing space, handy at the start of a name.
Combine them in the text box at the bottom of the page. For example, build a birthday message like π Happy Birthday, Queen π piece by piece, then copy it in one go. Symbols you've used recently appear at the top of the page so you can reuse them quickly; they're stored only in your browser.
