How to make text bold on Facebook

Facebook does not have a bold button for regular posts or comments. Write your text here, select the words you want to emphasise, and press B for bold or I for italic. Then copy the post and paste it into Facebook.

The styled words are Unicode characters, so they keep their look in posts, comments, page updates, and Messenger.

When to use bold and italic on Facebook

Bold works well for a headline at the top of a long post, an offer, a date, or the call to action. Italic suits quotes and names of books or shows. Styling a whole post makes it harder to read, so pick a few words.

Questions

Good to know.

Does Facebook support bold text in groups?

Some Facebook groups have a built-in formatting option for posts, but comments and most other places do not. Unicode bold works in all of them.

Is this real bold text or a font?

Neither, exactly. Social apps do not support rich text in posts, so the tool swaps each letter for a look-alike Unicode character, such as 𝗕 for B. Because they are characters rather than styling, they stay bold or italic wherever you paste them.

Can screen readers read Unicode bold text?

Not reliably. Some screen readers spell styled letters out one by one or skip them. Use bold and italic for a few words of emphasis, and keep the important information in plain text.

Does styled text show up in search?

Usually not. Search on most platforms matches plain letters, so a styled word may not be found when someone searches for it. Keep names, keywords, and hashtags in plain text.
