How to use styled text on LinkedIn
A practical guide to styled Unicode text on LinkedIn: where it works, the limits to keep in mind, and how to paste it in seconds — you see exactly what you get, and it works offline.
Where you can insert styled text on LinkedIn
LinkedIn has no built-in formatting, so styled Unicode is the usual way to bold or italicize posts, your headline, About and comments — the same on free and Premium.
Styled Unicode usually works in these spots:
- posts ~3000 characters
- your headline ~220 characters
- your About section ~2600 characters
- comments ~1250 characters
Our tip — use Unicode bold for the odd emphasis word, but keep your name, headline keywords and searchable terms plain — screen readers and search can't read styled glyphs.
