Copy or use native formatting
Copy a preview when you need styled characters. If your editor supports italic formatting, use that for ordinary prose.
What Is Copy-and-Paste Italic Text?
These styles replace Latin letters with mathematical italic Unicode characters. They carry their own slanted shapes into text fields that support them, without an italic formatting command.
All three italic styles here leave digits and ordinary punctuation unchanged. This differs from a document editor, where italic formatting can apply to an entire passage without replacing its characters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I paste italic letters into a plain text field?
Yes, if that field accepts and displays these Unicode characters. Test the copied phrase in the destination because support varies.
Why are numbers not italic?
The three mappings on this page contain letters but no italic digit variants. Digits remain as entered.
Should I use this for italics in an essay?
Use your editorโs italic formatting for an essay. It keeps the original characters and is better suited to long passages, citations and document editing.
What is the difference between italic and cursive here?
Italic letters are slanted but generally separate. Cursive Script has more flowing, decorative letter shapes; the homepage lets you compare those styles.
