Will the italic text display correctly everywhere?

These are Unicode mathematical characters, not HTML or markdown formatting. They render as italic glyphs in most modern browsers, apps, and operating systems. A small number of older apps may show them as boxes or question marks.

Why do only letters get converted, not punctuation?

Unicode italic equivalents exist only for the basic Latin alphabet (A-Z, a-z). Numbers, punctuation, spaces, and non-ASCII characters (such as accented letters) pass through unchanged, since no italic Unicode block covers them.

What is the difference between Italic and Bold Italic?

Italic (U+1D434) uses the standard mathematical italic block — slanted letterforms with no extra weight. Bold Italic (U+1D468) combines the slant of italic with the heavier stroke width of bold. Both are standard Unicode blocks supported across modern platforms.

Why does this work on social media when markdown does not?

Social platforms strip markdown and HTML from posts. These characters are actual Unicode code points — the platform treats them as ordinary text, so the italic appearance is preserved without any formatting markup.

Is there a character limit?

This tool has no enforced character limit. However, the target platform (Twitter, Instagram, etc.) will apply its own limits when you paste.
