Telegram already has bold, in messages

Telegram is one of the few messaging apps with built-in text formatting. In any chat, group or channel post, select text and pick Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Monospace or Spoiler from the menu. Desktop adds keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+B for bold and Ctrl+I for italic (Cmd on a Mac).

This formatting is real: screen readers read it normally, it is searchable, and it adds no extra characters. For messages and channel posts, use it instead of this generator.

Names, bios and channel titles

The formatting menu only appears in the message box. Your name, your bio, a group or channel title and a channel description are plain text, so the only way to make text bold there is to use different characters.

The generator above converts your letters to bold Unicode, which displays bold wherever it is pasted. Your bio is just 70 characters, so keep the styled part short: one word or a short label, with the rest plain.

Bold letters will not work in your username, which only accepts letters, numbers and underscores.

Keep it readable

Screen readers may read bold Unicode as math symbols or skip it, and search matches plain letters. A channel name written entirely in styled letters is harder to find and harder to read for some subscribers.

If you share the same text on X, it counts most of these letters as 2 characters each, so a styled line fills the post limit faster.

Questions

How do you bold text in Telegram?

Select the words in the message box and choose Bold from the formatting menu. On the phone apps, long-press to select, then open Format (or the three-dot menu) and pick Bold. On Telegram Desktop, select the text and press Ctrl+B, or Cmd+B on a Mac.

Can I type **text** to bold in Telegram?

On Telegram Desktop and the web apps, wrapping text in two asterisks turns it bold when the message is sent. The selection menu works in every app, so it is the safer way if you switch between devices.

How do I write italics in Telegram?

Select the text and choose Italic, or press Ctrl+I (Cmd+I on a Mac) on desktop. On desktop you can also wrap it in two underscores: __like this__.

Where do I need bold Unicode letters in Telegram?

In fields with no formatting menu: your name, your 70-character bio, a channel or group title, and a channel description. Paste the bold letters from the generator above and they show in bold to everyone.

Can I use bold letters in a Telegram username?

No. Usernames are 5 to 32 characters of letters, numbers and underscores, and must start with a letter. Your display name is the field that accepts styled letters.

Do bold Unicode letters affect search on Telegram?

They can. Telegram search matches plain letters, so a channel titled entirely in bold Unicode is harder to find by typing its name. Keep the searchable words plain and style one word if you want emphasis.
