Symbols for a PUBG Mobile or BGMI name are ordinary Unicode characters — ⚔ ♛ ★ ༒ ꧁ — pasted into the rename field. They work exactly as they do in a Free Fire name or an Instagram display name, because they are text, not a game feature. What is different here is the stakes: a rename costs a card, and the clan tag sits under conduct rules that have produced 90-day bans. Below: 67 battle characters with their real codepoints, 110 ready-made decorations, and an honest answer about the character limit everyone quotes.
The 14-character limit nobody can source
Almost every page on this subject states that a PUBG Mobile name may be 14 characters. We could not trace that number to anything Krafton has published, and we are not going to repeat it as a fact just because everyone else does.
What we can tell you is how to find your own limit in about thirty seconds, which is more useful than a number you cannot verify:
- Open the rename field and hold a single character key until it stops accepting more.
- Count what is in the box. That is your field’s real limit on your build.
- Now paste one decoration and repeat. The difference tells you what that decoration costs — and multi-codepoint marks cost more than they look.
Do this before you spend a rename card, not after.
67 battle characters with codepoints
Swords, shields, chess ranks, stars and hazard marks — every one a single Unicode character with a name you can check. Tap to copy.
Worth singling out: † Dagger (U+2020) and ‡ Double Dagger (U+2021) are typographic footnote marks, not weapons — which is why they render in essentially every font ever made, including the ones inside games. If you want an edged look that will never turn into a box, those two are the safest characters in this entire article. ⚔ Crossed Swords (U+2694) is the obvious choice but has emoji presentation on most phones, so it will be coloured and taller than your letters.

The clan tag is where the real risk is
Your nickname is yours. A clan tag is worn by everyone in the clan, it appears in every kill feed, and it is the thing moderation looks at hardest. BGMI has issued 90-day bans over clan names judged inappropriate — that is a season and a half of an account, over four characters.
| Tag content | Risk | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Decorative symbols only (★ ⚔ ♛) | None | Characters are never the offence |
| Ordinary words and abbreviations | None | The overwhelming majority of tags |
| Slurs, or a slur disguised in lookalike characters | High | Substitution is not a defence — moderation normalises the text first |
| Impersonating staff, a developer or an official team | High | Treated as impersonation regardless of decoration |
| Sexual or violent phrasing | High | Conduct rules apply to the tag the same as to chat |
The 90-day figure is BGMI’s own published enforcement for inappropriate clan names. Reviewed 1 September 2026.
The useful summary: decorate freely, and put the same care into what the tag says that you would put into anything else the whole squad has to wear.
Symbols that survive the game’s own font
A game ships its own font, and it is usually narrower than your phone’s. That is why a name that looks perfect in the rename box can show boxes in the lobby.
| Group | Example | In-game reliability |
|---|---|---|
| Typographic marks | † ‡ ★ ☆ ♛ | Highest — in fonts for decades |
| Misc symbols | ⚔ ⚡ ⚜ ⛓ | High, though several draw as emoji |
| Tibetan and Javanese | ༒ ꧁ ꧂ | Mixed — depends on the build and the device |
| Egyptian hieroglyphs | 𓆩 𓆪 | Low — also two UTF-16 units each |
| Recent emoji | 🩷 🫀 | Low on anything more than a couple of years old |
Kaomoji for a PUBG or BGMI bio
Built from punctuation, so nothing gets stripped as a picture. Too long for the name field, right for a profile signature.
Battle emoji
For fields that accept them. Remember each may cost two units rather than one against a limit.
Before you spend a rename card
Three checks that save a card:
- Paste it somewhere else first. Put the finished name in a notes app and look at it. If a box appears there, it will appear in game too.
- Count the decoration, not the name. If the field refuses, the fancy mark is usually several characters rather than one.
- Check it is typeable enough to find you. Teammates need to search for you. A name that is entirely lookalike characters is a name nobody can add.
The whole library, sorted by shape and labelled with codepoints, is on the NickSymbol home page. For frames measured against a character budget see the bracket symbols page; for the shorter twelve-character case, the Free Fire symbols page works through the same arithmetic; and how to add symbols to game names covers the limits of every other field.
PUBG and BGMI name symbols FAQ
How many characters can a PUBG Mobile name be?
Commonly quoted as 14, but we could not trace that to any Krafton source and will not present it as fact. Test your own field by holding a key until it stops accepting input — that takes half a minute and gives you the real answer for your build.
Can symbols get me banned in BGMI?
Not the symbols. What gets actioned is what a name or a clan tag says. BGMI has issued 90-day bans for inappropriate clan names, so the tag deserves more thought than the decoration around it.
Why does my name show empty boxes in the lobby but not while typing?
Your keyboard app has a font for that character and the game does not. The two are drawing the same text with different font sets. Switch to a character from the typographic group — † ‡ ★ ♛ — which games nearly always cover.
Do I need a rename card every time?
The first change is typically free and subsequent ones consume a card. That is the game’s own economy and has nothing to do with which characters you pick — a plain rename and a decorated one cost exactly the same.
Are these the same symbols that work in Free Fire?
Yes, identical. They are Unicode characters, not a feature of either game. What changes between games is the length budget and the font shipped in the build.
