Discord fonts for names, channels and copyable text styles

Use the preview for a display name, nickname, server title, channel, role, bio or message. These styles are Unicode characters, so recipients do not need a font file installed. Channel names are lowercase, however, and some styles only contain capitals; check the output before using a label. A member whose device lacks a glyph may see a box, so keep the server name and key channel labels readable in plain text too.

For message emphasis, Discord has built-in Markdown: wrap text with ** for bold, * for italic, __ for underline, ~~ for strikethrough, backticks for inline code, || for spoilers, or start a quote with >. At the start of a line, #, ## or ### followed by a space creates a heading; -# followed by a space creates subtext. These controls format messages; they do not style a nickname or server name, where copyable Unicode can help.

Before changing a server label, paste the result into the exact field and check whether Discord accepts it. Some style sets leave lowercase letters, numbers or punctuation unchanged, and symbols can affect how easily people search for a channel. Keep commands, links and instructions in ordinary text. For a banner or emote, use a font file in an image editor so you can size the lettering without changing the text characters. For a group of channels, compare the labels together before choosing a treatment. A mix of elaborate scripts can make the list harder to scan. Keep the useful word recognizable and use decoration consistently so members can distinguish a discussion channel from an announcement channel.
