It used to: style café and the é went plain. Not anymore — this generator styles the base letter and reattaches your accent, so the vast majority of styles keep á, ñ and ữ. Here's what changed, and the styles that still can't.
Not anymore, for the vast majority of styles. Fancy text never actually deleted your accents — older tools just couldn't restyle them, because Unicode has no styled version of á, ñ, ü or ữ, so the accented letter was passed through plain while its neighbours transformed. This generator gets around that: it splits the accented letter into a base letter plus its combining mark, styles the base, and puts the mark back on top. So bold Señor now comes out 𝗦𝗲𝗻̃𝗼𝗿 — the ñ styled too. Roughly 77 of the 112 styles keep every accent this way, including every bold, italic, script and gothic variant. The holdouts are the upside-down styles, a set of novelty styles that use exotic alphabets (bubble circles, fullwidth, katakana…), and one-piece letters like đ, ø, ß that have no mark to lift off.
When you choose "bold," you're not applying formatting — you're replacing each letter with a different Unicode character that looks bold. The bold 𝗮 is its own code point, and that math region of Unicode only ever defined styled forms of the 26 letters and 10 digits. There is no bold é or ñ to swap in.
The trick is that Unicode stores most accented letters as a base letter plus a separate combining mark. Split "ñ" apart (via NFD normalization) and you get a plain "n" and a combining tilde. The generator styles the "n" — which does have a bold twin — and then re-appends your original tilde on top. The result is a bold "n" wearing its tilde: a fully styled ñ.
Almost all of them keep your accents now. The exceptions are specific and named.
Every core typography style — the letter-swap styles now reattach the mark, and the mark/symbol styles never touched the letter to begin with:
𝗩𝗶𝗲̣̂𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝗺 · 𝗰𝗮𝗳𝗲́
Three groups still can't fully style an accented letter:
ɹoñǝS · đ → 𝗱
Quick test: if you're using one of the core typography styles (bold, italic, script, gothic…), your accents will style. The exceptions are the upside-down and novelty exotic-alphabet styles, plus the one-piece letters — đ, ø, ß and kin — which have no accent to lift off.
Vietnamese stacks a vowel mark and a tone mark on nearly every syllable, so it's the toughest test — and it now styles cleanly, every mark reattached (bold Việt Nam → 𝗩𝗶𝗲̣̂𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝗺). The one holdout is đ / Đ: it's its own Unicode letter, not a "d" with a mark, so it has no accent to lift off and converts to a plain styled "d" in every style.
Vietnamese users still often decorate a plain name with symbols ("kí tự đặc biệt") or drop the tone marks first (bỏ dấu) — but now that's for game length caps and platform rules, not because the font can't hold the marks. For the full breakdown — including how it renders across devices — see the guide on accents & diacritics in fancy fonts.
Type your text once and see every style side by side — most of them keep your accents, and you can spot the upside-down and novelty styles that don't.

Going the other way — turning styled text that lost its accents back into ordinary letters — is one click in the character counter under Convert fancy text to plain.
Mostly it doesn't anymore. It never truly deleted the accent — older tools just couldn't restyle it, because Unicode has no styled version of á, ñ or ữ. This generator works around that by splitting each accented letter into a base letter plus its combining mark, styling the base, and reattaching the mark, so bold Señor now comes out 𝗦𝗲𝗻̃𝗼𝗿 with the ñ styled too. Around 77 of the 112 styles keep accents this way, including every bold, italic, script and gothic variant. What still shows a plain accent: the upside-down styles, a set of novelty styles that use exotic alphabets (bubble circles, fullwidth, katakana and the like), and a few one-piece letters (đ, ø, ß, ł, ı).
In the vast majority now — roughly 77 of the 112 styles keep accents, including every bold, italic, script, cursive, fraktur and small caps variant as well as the mark and symbol styles. The letter-swap styles keep the accent by styling the base letter and reattaching the original mark. The exceptions are the upside-down / flip styles, 13 novelty styles that substitute exotic alphabets (bubble circles, fullwidth, katakana, bopomofo, squared, emoji-block, runic, Canadian syllabics), and the one-piece letters (đ, ø, ß, ł, ı) that have no mark to reattach.
That's mostly fixed — in the core typography styles the whole word styles now, accents included, because the generator reattaches each mark to its styled base letter. If part of your word still looks plain, you're using an upside-down style or one of the novelty exotic-alphabet styles (bubble circles, fullwidth, katakana…), which keep the plain accent, or your word contains a one-piece letter like đ, ø or ß that has no mark to reattach.
Yes, far better than they used to. Vietnamese vowels stack a vowel mark and a tone mark, and the generator now decomposes each vowel, styles the base and reattaches every mark, so a name styles fully with its dấu intact — bold Việt Nam becomes 𝗩𝗶𝗲̣̂𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝗺. The one letter that never converts is đ, which is its own Unicode character with no decomposition, so it styles as a plain d. Removing the tone marks first (bỏ dấu) is now a choice for game length caps, not a requirement.
Just style it — the core typography styles (bold, italic, script, gothic, small caps…) all keep your accents now. If you want to be certain no combining mark can drift on an old device, a mark or wrap style (strikethrough, underline, symbol wrap) never decomposes the letter at all. The accents that don't carry are the one-piece letters (đ, ø, ß, ł, ı), which have no separate mark, and anything run through an upside-down or novelty exotic-alphabet style.
