These are Unicode symbols, not fonts. Some apps and older phones show them as boxes, and screen readers may read them letter by letter or skip them, so keep names, important details and hashtags in plain text. Why, and what to do instead.
What gothic text is
Gothic, Old English and blackletter all describe the same family of heavy, angular letters used in European books from the Middle Ages and still seen on newspaper mastheads and diplomas. The version here is Fraktur, from Unicode's Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, where mathematicians use it for things like 𝔤 for a Lie algebra. There are two alphabets: Fraktur (𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠) and bold Fraktur (𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖈).
Five letters from an older block
Regular Fraktur borrows five capitals from Letterlike Symbols: ℭ ℌ ℑ ℜ ℨ, because they were encoded first. They can look a touch different in some fonts. Bold Fraktur is complete. Neither has digits, so numbers stay plain.
Readability
Blackletter is hard to read in long stretches, even for sighted readers, and capitals like 𝔅 and 𝔙 are easy to mix up. Use it for a word or two, such as a display name or a heading. Screen readers announce each letter as "mathematical fraktur…" or skip it. See the accessibility guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is gothic the same as Old English font?
Yes, in everyday use. Both mean blackletter type. The Unicode letters here are the Fraktur style of blackletter.
Can I use gothic letters for a tattoo design?
This tool makes text characters, not a font file, and the letter shapes depend on your device. For tattoos, use a real blackletter font or an artist.
Are there gothic numbers?
No. Unicode has no Fraktur digits.
