Tips for Using Formatted Text on X
Use sparingly for emphasis
Bold or italic a key phrase to make it pop. Formatting your entire tweet makes it harder to read.
Bold for headings in threads
Use bold text as a heading at the start of each thread tweet to create visual structure.
Strikethrough for humor
Strikethrough is great for jokes: "I love Mondays Sฬถaฬถiฬถdฬถ ฬถnฬถoฬถ ฬถoฬถnฬถeฬถ ฬถeฬถvฬถeฬถrฬถ"
Check character count
Unicode characters count as 2 characters on X. Keep an eye on your remaining character count.
Test on mobile

Twitter Text Formatter FAQ
How do I make bold text on Twitter/X?
Twitter/X doesn't natively support bold text formatting. However, you can use Unicode characters that look bold. Our free Twitter Text Formatter converts your regular text into bold Unicode characters (like ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐) that you can copy and paste directly into your tweets.
Do Unicode fonts work on all devices?
Most Unicode characters display correctly on modern devices and browsers. However, some older devices may show placeholder boxes for certain characters. Bold, italic, and strikethrough styles have the widest compatibility.
Will formatted text affect my tweet character count?
Yes. Unicode characters used for formatting are multi-byte characters that count as 2 characters each on Twitter/X. This means formatted text will use more of your 280-character limit than regular text.
Is it safe to use Unicode text in tweets?
Yes, using Unicode text is perfectly safe and does not violate Twitter/X terms of service. These are standard Unicode characters. However, overusing fancy fonts can reduce readability and engagement.
Can I use italic text on Twitter?
Twitter/X doesn't have a native italic option, but you can use our tool to convert text to Unicode italic characters (like ๐ผ๐ก๐๐๐๐) that render as italic on most devices.
How do I add strikethrough text to a tweet?
Our tool adds Unicode combining characters to each letter to create the strikethrough effect (like Sฬถtฬถrฬถiฬถkฬถeฬถ). Click the Strikethrough style and copy the formatted text.
