Convert text to Italic, Bold Italic and Sans Italic letters for bios, display names and posts that have no italic option.
Instagram, TikTok, X and Discord accept these characters in bios, display names, posts and messages. They are Unicode symbols, not a font, so a device without a matching font shows empty boxes. Screen readers may read each letter by its symbol name or skip it, so keep names, links and key info in plain text.
These styles are Unicode characters, so they only work as text. For logos, print and design work, use a font you can install.

Unicode uses the Planck constant sign โ as the italic h, so it sits in a different block from the other italic letters. Some generators skip this and output a blank box; this one uses โ.
No. Unicode has no italic digits, so numbers stay upright.
In messages, wrap text in single asterisks (*like this*). Display names and server nicknames ignore that formatting, so paste italic Unicode there instead.
Yes. Captions, bios and comments all accept it. Keep hashtags in plain text: an italic hashtag is a different string and will not link to the tag.
