Why does my style vanish after saving?

Some apps normalise incoming text and strip combining characters, notably those behind strikethrough and underline. Styles built on whole characters, such as bold or script, hold up better.

Do styled hashtags work?

No. A hashtag must be made of ordinary characters to be indexed. Styled, it becomes inert text nobody will find.

Instagram bio fonts

Instagram bio fonts: 5 Unicode styles to try, copied in one click and pasted anywhere — bio, post, username or message.

Your text

Tip: some styles break screen readers — best kept for titles and hooks.

Bold sans-serif 7/7

Italic sans-serif 7/7

Script 7/7

Small caps 7/7

Fullwidth (vaporwave) 7/7

Symbols

The Instagram and TikTok bio offers no formatting: no bold, no italic, no headings. The Unicode trick is the only way to get typographic contrast there. It is also a short space — 150 characters on Instagram — where every decorative character costs you a word.

Worth knowing

Style a single line, usually the first, and leave the rest readable.
Line breaks get lost when pasting from some apps: write the bio directly in the app.
A link or a hashtag must stay in plain text, otherwise it stops being clickable or searchable.
