Markdown to unicode
Markdown to unicode post formatter
Write the post in Markdown. Asterisks come back as the serif family, underscores as the sans family, so bold, italic, and lists hold their shape on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Threads, where markdown syntax would paste as literal asterisks.
Hello
Rules
What each markdown line becomes
Markdown markers are replaced with characters that survive a paste. Asterisks give the serif family, underscores give the sans family, so one post can mix both.
| You type | You paste | Family |
|---|---|---|
| **bold** | ððĻðĨð | BOLD SERIF |
| __bold__ | ðŊðžðđðą | BOLD SANS |
| *italic* | ððĄðððð | ITALIC SERIF |
| _italic_ | ðŠðĩðĒððŠðĪ | ITALIC SANS |
| ***both*** | ðððð | BOLD ITALIC SERIF |
| ___both___ | ððĪðĐð | BOLD ITALIC SANS |
| ~~strike~~ | sĖķtĖķrĖķiĖķkĖķeĖķ | ANY |
| - item | âĒ item | ANY |
Styles
Pick a style, copy it
Type your own text and every card redraws in the real characters it writes. Not a font setting, so each card is exactly what lands in the post.

FAQ
Questions before you paste
The details people ask about most when they format a post this way.
Does LinkedIn render markdown at all?
No. LinkedIn shows no markdown formatting, so asterisks and underscores stay visible as literal characters. This page replaces those markers with characters that carry the same meaning after pasting.
Will the styled characters break on mobile?
Bold, italic, and bullets are safe on the devices I test on. The heavier alphabets, like fraktur, script, circled, squared, and full width, depend on the font installed on the phone, so test those before you publish.
Which platforms does this work on?
LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Threads, and Facebook, plus plain text for email, Slack, and commit messages. The styling is carried by the characters, so it pastes the same way anywhere.
Is my draft stored anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is saved between visits. Refresh the tab and the draft is gone.
Can I undo a conversion?
Yes. Your markdown stays in the source pane, so you can keep editing and copy again.
Formatted text is plain unicode, so it copies and pastes like normal text. Screen readers handle bold and italic characters poorly, so keep the important sentences in regular text and preview on a phone before publishing.
Formatting is step one
Formatting is step one. Writing something worth reading is the work.
Send me the draft you are stuck on. If the post needs a page, a tool, or an API behind it, that is the part I build.
