This page has a Unicode font generator that runs in the browser; use the HTML page to run it. The text below is the guide that goes with it. ## Styles you can generate for LinkedIn LinkedIn's post composer doesn't offer bold or italic, so many people paste Unicode styles instead. Type your text, browse 30+ styles and tap to copy. On LinkedIn, the restrained styles do the most good. ### Professional styles Sans-serif bold (𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆), sans italic (𝘒𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺), sans bold italic, serif bold and serif italic. These blend in with LinkedIn's interface and read like intentional formatting. ### Technical styles Monospace (𝙺𝚎𝚢 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚢) is handy for naming a tool, command or file in a developer-focused post. ### Everything else Script, gothic, double-struck, bubble, squared, small caps, fullwidth, upside-down, strikethrough and underline styles are available too. Use them carefully: on a professional network, decorative text can come across as gimmicky. ### Unicode, not fonts These are mathematical and symbol characters that look like styled letters. LinkedIn doesn't know that 𝗞 means "K," which affects search and screen readers. ## Where styled text works on LinkedIn ### Posts Posts allow 3,000 characters, and only the first few lines show before "…see more." A bold first line, or bold labels like "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺" and "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱," help readers follow a longer post. If you include an image, see our guide to [LinkedIn post image sizes](https://scheduleforyou.com/blog/image-sizes-for-linkedin-posts). ### Comments A bold word in a comment can highlight the answer to a question in a busy thread. Keep the rest of the comment plain. ### About section and experience Your About section and the descriptions under each role accept Unicode. Bold section labels such as "𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀" or "𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸" make a long summary easier to scan. ### Headline (with care) Your headline can be 220 characters and accepts styled text, but it's also one of the fields LinkedIn search relies on. Styling your job title or skills there can make you harder to find. ### Where real formatting exists LinkedIn articles and newsletters have their own editor with genuine bold, italics and headings. If you're writing long-form content there, use the built-in tools rather than Unicode. ## Best practices for LinkedIn ### Keep searchable words plain Recruiters and clients search LinkedIn for job titles, skills and company names. LinkedIn search may not match "𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿" to "product manager." Style labels and short phrases, never the keywords you want to be found for. ### Write for screen reader users Screen readers may read Unicode bold as individual math symbols or skip it. A post where every other line is bold can become very hard to follow. Limit styling to a few words per post, and make sure the sentence still makes sense if the styled part is read strangely. ### Don't style your name LinkedIn asks members to use their real name, and its name field isn't the place for decoration. A styled name also makes you harder to find and tag. ### Don't style hashtags or mentions Hashtags and @mentions only work in plain characters. Style the sentence around them if you want emphasis. ## Use cases ### Thought-leadership posts A bold hook line, followed by short plain paragraphs and two or three bold labels. ### Job announcements "𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠" in bold on the first line, with the role, location and link in plain text so the post appears in searches. ### Event recaps Bold labels for "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱" and "𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀" give a recap a clear structure. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I bold text in a LinkedIn post? LinkedIn's post composer has no bold option. Type your text here, copy the bold style, and paste it into your post. In articles and newsletters, use LinkedIn's editor, which has real bold formatting. ### Is using Unicode bold on LinkedIn unprofessional? Not when it's used lightly. A bold first line or a few bold labels are common. Whole posts in decorative styles are harder to read and can look like spam. ### Does styled text affect LinkedIn search? It can. LinkedIn search may not treat styled characters as the letters they resemble, so styled job titles, skills or company names might not match searches. Keep those in plain text. ### Will styled text work on the LinkedIn mobile app? Bold and italic sans-serif styles display on nearly all phones. More decorative styles may appear as boxes on some older devices. ### Is this LinkedIn font generator free? Yes. It's free, requires no sign-up and runs in your browser. Your text isn't uploaded anywhere. ### Can I use these styles in my LinkedIn headline? You can, but it's usually better not to style the job title or skills there, since the headline is used in search. A styled separator or a short phrase at the end is a safer choice. ## Schedule LinkedIn posts with Schedule For You Schedule For You lets you draft a LinkedIn post, check it against the 3,000-character limit, and schedule it alongside tailored versions for X, Threads and your other channels.
