This is a TTF font and SVG collection of all special characters that are usable in Pokémon nicknames up to Gen 7. They partly overlap with regular Unicode dingbats (U+25A1–U+266A), and all unique characters are in the Private Use Area of the Basic Multilingual Plane, and so are guaranteed never to conflict with future Unicode characters.
See the specimen page for an overview of all icons.
The following characters are included:
Most of the character vectors were originally taken from the Pokémon Global Link website, but are no longer online today.
Several characters are original and were created to help with developing UIs:
- Pentagon (outline)
- Pentagon (solid)
- Pokérus Cured
- Pokémon Dollar (modeled after the Gen 6 sprite)
- Poké Ball
These cannot be used in nicknames and can safely be ignored if they're not needed.
A collection of SVG images for the characters is available in the assets/svg/ directory.
In-game, the characters look like this:
For Japanese, the full-width characters should be used. This means that, for example, the smiley face character should map to U+E0A0 for English Pokémon, and to U+E082 for Japanese Pokémon.
