Frequently asked questions

How do I add bold text to a LinkedIn post?
LinkedIn has no bold, so paste Unicode that looks bold. Type here, pick bold or italic, and copy it into your post, headline, or comment.
Does it work everywhere?
In most plain-text places — LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook. Use sparingly; screen readers may misread these characters.
Is it real bold formatting?
No — it's distinct Unicode "math" characters that resemble bold/italic, which is why it pastes anywhere but can trip up accessibility tools.

For accessibility, avoid formatting whole sentences this way — use it only for occasional emphasis.
