No font is involved. Each styled letter is a separate Unicode character from the math symbols block, which is why it pastes anywhere that accepts Unicode text.

Do styled letters work with screen readers?

Often badly. A screen reader may spell them out or call them math symbols, so the note above the output asks you to style a word or two at most.

Do styled letters count more on X?

Yes. X counts Latin letters as 1 but most other Unicode as 2, so each styled letter uses 2 of your 280.

Can people search for styled words?

Search tools that match plain letters may not match them. Keep the words you want found in plain text.

Bold and italic text generator

LinkedIn, X and Instagram posts have no bold button, so people paste Unicode letters that look bold or italic. Type your text, pick a style and copy the result. Software reads these letters as math symbols, which affects screen readers, search and character counts, so keep them to a word or two.

Text

Screen readers may read these letters one by one, announce them as math symbols, or skip them. People who use a screen reader may not be able to read your styled text. Keep names, links, hashtags and calls to action in plain text, and style a word or two at most.

Styled output

How it works

1
Type or paste the words you want to style.
2
Pick bold or italic.
3
Bold swaps letters and digits for look-alikes from Unicode's Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block. Italic swaps letters only.
4
Copy the result and paste it into your post or bio.
