How text formatting works on LinkedIn
Plain English
LinkedIn does not support traditional formatting like bold or italics —
but it does display certain Unicode characters.
Unicode is a global character standard that includes
stylised versions of letters and numbers.
LinkedIn treats these characters as text, not formatting.
This is why formatted text works without breaking LinkedIn rules.
