Pro Tips for LinkedIn Posts
Use Bold for Headlines
Make your opening line bold to grab attention in the feed.
Add Line Breaks
Short paragraphs with spacing improve readability on mobile.
Use Bullet Points
Lists are scannable and increase engagement on LinkedIn.
Why Format Your LinkedIn Posts?
LinkedIn's native editor doesn't support rich text formatting like bold or italics. This LinkedIn text formatter uses special Unicode characters that look like formatted text but are actually different character sets. This means your formatted text works everywhere - in posts, comments, and even your profile.
How Does LinkedIn Text Formatting Work?
Unicode includes multiple alphabet sets that appear as bold, italic, or stylized versions of regular letters. When you type "Hello" and convert it to bold, you're actually using mathematical bold characters (𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼) that browsers and apps display as bold text. This is why the formatting works on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms.
Best Practices for LinkedIn Formatting
Do This
- Use bold for key points and headlines
- Add bullet points for lists
- Keep paragraphs short (1-2 lines)
- Use line breaks for readability
- Add relevant emojis sparingly
Avoid This
- Don't format entire paragraphs in bold
- Avoid using too many different styles
- Don't overuse special characters
- Skip fancy fonts for professional content
- Don't sacrifice readability for style
LinkedIn Post Character Limit
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post. However, only the first ~210 characters appear before the "see more" link. Make your opening line count! Our character counter helps you stay within limits while crafting engaging content.
Formatting for Maximum Engagement
Studies show that LinkedIn posts with clear formatting receive up to 40% more engagement. Break up walls of text, highlight key insights with bold text, and use bullet points to make your content scannable. Mobile users especially appreciate well-formatted posts since they're reading on smaller screens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this formatting allowed on LinkedIn?
Yes! These are standard Unicode characters that LinkedIn fully supports. They're not a hack or exploit - just different character sets that appear formatted.
Will the formatting work in comments too?
Absolutely. The formatted text works in LinkedIn posts, comments, articles, and even your profile headline and about section.
Does it affect LinkedIn's algorithm?
No negative impact. In fact, well-formatted posts often perform better because they're more readable and engaging, leading to higher dwell time and interactions.
Why don't some characters convert?
Unicode only includes letters and numbers in special formats. Punctuation marks stay the same, but letters will be converted to your chosen style.
