TIL: you can bold your description and fields using unicode characters

I saw another plugin with pretty text and I was wondering how they do it

It turns out it’s unicode all the way down. So Bold and Italic Text Generators - 𝐁𝐨π₯𝐝 𝒂𝒏𝒅 π‘–π‘‘π‘Žπ‘™π‘–π‘π‘  works. :man_shrugging:

And it works in the fields, too.

Go unleash your aberrations.

If you’re a productivity freak like @Andrew.Vernon and you use Raycast on macOS – which you should – there are a couple of extensions in the store to make your life easier (and everyone else’s life more miserable).

This is great! Now I wish we could update plugin descriptions and field descriptions without a new release of the plugin.

Interesting find, @rico.trevisan. On Windows, you could use the Character Map utility to compose the same Unicode strings.

Just a heads up that I learned about Unicode fonts a little while ago. Since these symbols can have different meanings and usages, screen readers might not read them correctly. If your audience doesn’t include people using screen readers, I guess it’s okay to use them. You could use this one; it has a pretty clean UI.

it works in field documentation too, that’s great

is there anything out there that does some kind of translation from readme.md format to unicode?

at least https://markdown-to-unicode.vercel.app/
