Discord channel naming rules

Type	Length	What Discord changes
Text channel	1–100 characters	Capital letters A–Z become lowercase and spaces become dashes. Emoji, symbols and Unicode font letters are kept.
Voice channel	1–100 characters	Capitals and spaces are kept.
Category	1–100 characters	Shown in capitals in the channel list.
Server name	2–100 characters	Capitals, spaces and symbols are kept.

Unicode bold capitals such as 𝐆 aren’t affected by the lowercase rule, which is why fancy channel names can keep capital-looking letters.

How to rename a Discord channel

On desktop or web

Hover the channel and click the gear (Edit Channel).
On the Overview tab, paste into Channel Name.
Press Save Changes.

On iPhone or Android

Long-press the channel and tap Edit Channel.
Paste the new name.
Tap Save.

You need the Manage Channels permission. Categories are renamed the same way from the category’s menu.

Tips for good channel names

Put the emoji first and the word after (💬・general) so the list lines up and stays scannable.
Keep important words plain. Discord’s channel search doesn’t match fancy letters to normal ones, so a channel named 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 won’t show up when someone searches “rules”.
Use one style per server. Pick a single divider (・, │ or ┊) and reuse it.
More pieces are in the symbols and dividers collection.
