Bold text where there is no bold button

LinkedIn posts, Instagram captions, X posts and YouTube descriptions have no formatting toolbar. Unicode bold letters let you highlight a headline or key phrase anyway. Sans bold (๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€) usually looks most natural next to the app's default font; serif bold (๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐Ÿ) looks more classic.

Best practice for LinkedIn and professional posts

Bold and italic in apps that support Markdown

Discord, Slack, Reddit and WhatsApp support their own formatting (e.g. **bold** or *bold*). Native formatting is more accessible, so use it where available โ€“ see our Discord fonts and WhatsApp fonts guides.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make bold text on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn has no bold button for posts, but you can paste Unicode bold text generated here. Use it sparingly for headings.

Will bold Unicode text be found in search?

Usually not. Search engines and in-app search treat ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ letters as different characters from normal letters.

What is the difference between serif and sans bold?

Serif bold has small strokes at the ends of letters (๐€); sans bold does not (๐—”). Sans usually matches app fonts better.

Are bold numbers available?

Yes โ€“ bold, sans bold, double-struck and monospace styles include digits.
