The styled letters are Unicode characters, so they paste into any app. Screen readers may read them badly and search will not match them. Keep them for a few words, not whole posts, and not for hashtags, links or @mentions.

Good to know

  • Posts are shortened in the feed with "See more", so the first lines matter most.
  • The styled letters are Unicode characters, not real formatting. Screen readers may read them badly and search does not match them, so use them sparingly.
  • Letters other than A to Z and digits are left as they are, so accented letters and non-Latin scripts are not styled.

Questions

Can I format text in a Facebook post?

Facebook posts have no bold or italic option in the normal box. Styled Unicode letters paste into posts, comments and your bio.

Will styled text break links or tags?

Only if you style them. Leave links and @tags in plain text, and style the words around them.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The styling runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.
