Where it works on Facebook

Posts, comments, group names, group descriptions, event titles and the bio and intro fields all render styled Unicode as pasted. Because Facebook posts have no formatting toolbar for ordinary text, a styled first line is the simplest way to give a post a headline.

Profile names are the exception. Facebook has a name policy and validates the name field, so styled characters are often rejected or flagged. Page names are also reviewed. Treat both as plain-text fields.

• Works: posts, comments, group names and descriptions, events, bio and intro
• Restricted: personal profile names and Page names
• Never style: anything in an ad, a shop listing or a form

A styled headline, then plain text

Facebook posts are often long, and long styled paragraphs are exhausting to read. The pattern that works is a short styled line at the top — bold or spaced capitals — followed by plain body text. That gives the post a visual hierarchy without costing legibility.

For lists, a repeated bullet symbol is more reliable than trying to fake indentation with spaces, which Facebook collapses.

Search, reach and accessibility

Facebook search matches the text as written, so styled words will not be found by their plain spelling. That matters for group names, event titles and any post you hope people will discover. Keep those keywords plain and reserve the styling for decoration.

Screen readers may read mathematical letters out one by one or skip them entirely, so essential details — dates, prices, addresses — should always be plain text.
