Steam fonts for a profile name that stands out.
Steam is one of the friendliest platforms for fancy text: profile names accept most Unicode and show it in friends lists, chat and game lobbies. Your account name (for signing in) and your custom URL stay plain, so style the profile name freely.
Counted the strict way: many fancy letters are stored as 2 characters, so if it fits here, it fits in the app.
A simplified mock-up, not the real app. Fonts differ by phone.

Back to plain text
Paste fancy text (cursive, bold, glitch, upside down, bubbles) to get normal letters back, for example to make it searchable or readable.
Steam character limits
