Bluesky fields that accept styled letters
Bluesky posts, bios and display names accept Unicode symbols, so styled letters paste in and stay styled. Your bio has 256 characters and your display name 64, which leaves room for a styled label without crowding out the words people need.
How styled letters count on Bluesky
Good news for styled text: Bluesky counts graphemes, so each styled letter is one character toward the 300 limit, exactly as this site’s counter shows. A post must also stay under 3,000 bytes, but even 300 styled letters at 4 bytes each come to about 1,200, well within it.
Keep it readable for everyone
Screen readers may skip styled letters or read them one by one as math symbols. Write the point of the post in plain letters, keep hashtags plain so people searching the normal tag find you, and add alt text to images.
Ideas for Bluesky
- A bold label to open a thread.
- A script word in your display name.
