YouTube Bold & Italic Text
YouTube has no formatting toolbar, but it happily displays Unicode letters. This bench maps every letter you type onto mathematical alphanumeric symbols, so your emphasis survives the copy-paste into YouTube.

Questions
Will screen readers read this text?
Not always. Unicode styled letters are separate symbols, so some screen readers spell them out or skip them. Use styling for a few words of emphasis, never for whole posts.
Does styled text count more characters on YouTube?
Each styled letter is a single code point but often two UTF-16 units. Descriptions allow 5,000 characters; only the first ~150 show above the ββ¦moreβ fold.
Why do some letters look different?
A handful of letters (like italic h or script B) live in older Unicode blocks, so fonts render them in a slightly different shape.
