Letter styles for a word or two

Type the words to style, then copy them or put them in your bio. These are special Unicode characters, not a font, so they look the same wherever they are pasted.

Screen readers may read these letters badly or not at all. Some read each one by its symbol name, such as "mathematical bold capital K", and some skip it. Search inside Instagram may not find them either, because they are different characters from the ones people type.

W3C's MathML specification says these maths letters should not be used for styled text, as it causes problems for searching and restyling, including for accessibility. Our suggestion: style a word or two in the bio at most, never your name or the whole bio, and never your phone number.
