Creative Ways to Use Unicode Bold Text (Without Overdoing It)
Quick summary
Unicode bold is best used as a short headline or label. Keep the rest of your text normal, so the bold line stands out and remains readable on every device.
1) Bio headlines that explain who you are
Use a single bold line at the top of your bio to clarify your role or niche.
