Known by the name of Private Character Editor, it is a lesser known <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/handy-windows-built-in-tools\/\">Windows built-in tool<\/a> that allows you to <strong>create and edit your own characters<\/strong> to use them on your PC.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s not as advanced as some of the today\u2019s online and offline font maker tools, but I would say it\u2019s one of the easiest character makers that would get the job done. Best of all, it\u2019s <strong>completely free and doesn\u2019t need to be downloaded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I will show you <strong>how to use Windows Private Character Editor to create your own fonts<\/strong> and characters to freely use them on your PC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> It should be kept in mind that the custom characters that you will create can only be used on your PC. You <strong>can\u2019t send them to another PC via email<\/strong> or in a document as the receiver won\u2019t have them saved on their PC.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can still <strong>print and share the documents<\/strong> if you need to share them with someone (screenshot may work as well).<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/font-pairing-tools\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">15 Best Font Pairing Tools for Designers<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Access Private Character Editor<\/h2>\n<p>Private Character Editor is a <strong>rather hidden tool<\/strong> saved in \"<strong>C:\\Windows\\System 32\\eudcedit.exe<\/strong>\" and you will have to find it among hundreds of other files. So, the easiest way to open Private Character Editor that works in all versions of Windows is through the <strong>Run<\/strong> dialog.<\/p>\n<p>Press <strong><span class=\"key\">Windows<\/span> + <span class=\"key\">R<\/span><\/strong> keys to open up Run dialog and enter <strong>eudcedit<\/strong> in it.

This is basically a registration process of your new character. You need to assign a code to the character to be able to use it and search for it when needed.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>total 6400 codes available<\/strong> for you to choose from. Just click on any block and <strong>you will see it\u2019s code at the bottom<\/strong> in the <strong>Code<\/strong> field. The codes are automatically created, based on the values in the left column and the top row. Once you have selected your desired code block, click on <strong>OK<\/strong> to get started.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-own-fonts-characters\/select-code.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"515\" alt=\"select code\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Create your own character<\/h2>\n<p>Now you should see a <strong>grid style drawing board with 64\u00d764 blocks<\/strong> to fill in and create your character. There are also basic tools to help you with creating your character. The tools include <strong>pen, brush, straight line, hollow rectangle, filled rectangle, hollow ellipse<\/strong>, filled ellipse, rectangular selection, freeform selection, and eraser.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-own-fonts-characters\/drawing-tools.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" alt=\"drawing tools\"><\/figure>\n<p>You can only create the character with black color, and whichever tool you use for drawing they will simply fill a block with black color. You can <strong>select your desired tool and use the left mouse click<\/strong> to start drawing. The cool thing about grid style layout is that you can easily <strong>un-fill filled blocks just by right-clicking<\/strong> on them.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to easily rectify errors and create the perfect character. I was able to <strong>create multiple types of drawings without much problem<\/strong> and with great perfection.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/create-own-fonts-characters\/draw-character.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" alt=\"draw character\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Edit an existing character<\/h2>\n<p>Creating a character from scratch isn\u2019t necessary, you can also <strong>edit any of the available characters<\/strong> and make it yours.
