How to Make Wide Text
Wide text works by swapping each letter for its fullwidth Unicode counterpart — a character block originally built so Latin letters could align evenly with Japanese and Korean text — which naturally gives Latin letters a stretched, spaced-out look.
Where Wide Text Works Best
The stretched-out look reads well as a header or short standalone line — a profile title, a banner, or a single word — but it can look overly spaced in a long paragraph, so it's best used sparingly.
Wide Text and Character Limits
Because fullwidth characters count the same as any other character on most platforms while visually taking up more room, double-check how a wide-text name looks in-app before committing to it — especially on games with a strict character limit like the ones covered on our Gaming hub.
