How do I make bold text for Instagram bio?

Type your text into the text formatter tool, click the "Bold" button to convert it to Unicode bold characters (𝐀-𝐙, 𝐚-𝐳), then copy and paste the result into your Instagram bio. Instagram does not support native bold formatting, but Unicode bold characters display correctly in bios, captions, and comments.

Can I use italic text on LinkedIn?

Yes. LinkedIn supports Unicode italic text characters. Use the text formatter to convert your text to mathematical italic Unicode characters, then paste into your LinkedIn bio, headline, or posts. This works across all devices and platforms.

What is Unicode text formatting?

Unicode text formatting uses special Unicode character sets (like Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols) to create text that appears bold, italic, or styled without requiring platform-specific formatting. These characters are part of the Unicode standard and display correctly on Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, TikTok, and most platforms.

Does fancy text work on all social media platforms?

Most Unicode text styles work on Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, TikTok, Threads, and YouTube. However, platform support varies. Bold, italic, and monospace styles have the widest compatibility. Bubble text and square text may not display correctly on older devices or certain platforms. Always test your formatted text before publishing.

Can I use strikethrough text on Instagram?

Yes. Strikethrough text uses Unicode combining characters that overlay a line through standard letters. Paste strikethrough text into Instagram bios, captions, or comments and it will display correctly. This works on X, LinkedIn, and Facebook as well.

How do I copy formatted text to my clipboard?

After converting your text to a desired style (bold, italic, monospace, etc.), click the "Copy" button next to that style. The formatted text is instantly copied to your clipboard. Then paste (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) into any social media bio, caption, or message field.

Tips for Using Formatted Text

Use sparingly

Bold one or two key phrases for emphasis. Formatting your entire bio reduces readability.

Test on mobile

Unicode renders differently on some devices. Always preview on mobile before publishing. Schedule posts with PostEverywhere to preview across platforms.

Accessibility note

Screen readers may struggle with Unicode text. Use it for visual flair, not essential information.

Mix with emojis

Combine formatted text with our emoji picker for maximum visual impact.

SEO impact

Unicode text isn't indexed as regular text by search engines. Keep keywords in standard characters.

Brand consistency

Pick one or two styles that match your brand voice and use them consistently across platforms. Manage multiple accounts with multi-account management to maintain brand consistency.
