Twitter and X Font Generator
X has no rich text in posts, so bold and italic Unicode characters are how people emphasise a line. Restrained styles come first here because the platform's own font is dense.

Twitter / X
Posts, display names and bios all accept these characters, while your @handle stays ASCII-only. Bear in mind that styled text is indexed as symbols, so keywords you want found in search should stay plain. A single bold opening line performs better than a fully styled post, which reads as spam to many users.
Where people use it
- A bold hook on the first line of a thread
- Italic quotes inside a post
- Small caps section labels in long threads
- Styled display names during a campaign
Frequently asked questions
Does styled text affect reach?
There is no confirmed penalty, but search matches on plain text, so heavily styled posts are harder to find.
Can I style my @handle?
No. Handles are limited to letters, numbers and underscores.
Do styled characters use more of the character limit?
Some styles use characters that count as two, so a heavily styled post can hit the limit sooner.
