A note on accessibility: styled unicode is read poorly by screen readers, often letter by letter or not at all. Use it for a word or two of emphasis, not whole posts.

Instagram folds long posts behind "... more" at roughly 125 characters or 2 lines. Everything after the marker is what readers only see if the opening earns the tap.
How bold text works on Instagram
Instagram captions and bios have no formatting options. Styled Unicode letters are how bold and italic text appears in captions, and they count as one character each toward 2,200.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use bold text in my Instagram bio?
Yes. Paste styled letters into your bio the same way. Keep it short, because screen readers struggle with them.
Will styled text hurt accessibility?
It can. Screen readers often read styled letters one by one or skip them. Use them for a word or two of emphasis and keep the rest of the post plain.
How do I undo the formatting?
Select the styled text and choose Undo formatting. The tool turns styled letters back into plain ones.
