Social Media Text Formatting: Stand Out with Unicode Styles

Plain text gets lost in the noise of social media. Stand out with Unicode text formatting that works across all platforms—no apps or special tools required.

Why Unicode Formatting Works

Unlike HTML or markdown, Unicode characters are actual text that displays correctly everywhere: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and even in SMS messages.
