What client is doing this fancy Unicode? 🤔

@bryan Ha! None. I used a web page that converts to varying styles. I’d love to see some rich text native to Mastodon, bit I also fear it would be horribly abused, like any web forum that allowed it.

Edit: https://convertcase.net/unicode-text-converter/

@Unabart
I’m so so so so uncaring about supposed “abuse”. 😂

I just want 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝, 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘴, s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶, u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲d̲, … 😊

@bryan Every time I leave alt-text off an image, some lonely twat will set down the Mountain Dew long enough to scold me for not considering the blind in my posts. With the unicode, this supposedly breaks text to speech. When the author of Mastodon released the first official client, thin on features, this same group of interlosers ganged up on the author, ad hominem, for not including everything for everyone, everywhere all at once, for free.

¡achtung! With the unicode! The trolls will pounce.

@bryan I should have seen that coming. But alas, no alt-text!
