Styled letters are Unicode characters, not fonts โ screen readers may read them letter by letter and search engines don't match them to plain words, so keep essential details in plain text. Unicode accessibility guide
Slack has its own bold, italic and strikethrough in messages, and you should use them there โ they are semantic, searchable and accessible. Unicode styling earns its place in the fields Slack does not format: your display name, your custom status text, channel topics and descriptions, and canvas or bookmark labels. A display name in sแดแดสส แดแดแดs or a topic with a โโโ divider gives a workspace structure that Slackโs own formatting cannot.
Everything here is plain Unicode, so it renders identically in the Slack desktop app, web and mobile. Styled text is still searchable only as the characters it contains, which is the main reason to keep message bodies in Slackโs native formatting.

Where to Use Unicode vs Slack Formatting
Use the native option wherever it exists.
- Messages โ use Slackโs own *bold*, _italic_, ~strike~ and code blocks; they are searchable and accessible
- Display name โ Slack has no formatting here, so Unicode is the only option
- Custom status text โ no formatting; small caps and emoji work well
- Channel topic and description โ no formatting; dividers and small-caps headings help
- Canvas and list titles โ accept Unicode; use sparingly so search still finds them
Display Names and Statuses
A Slack display name is what colleagues see in every channel, so restraint matters: small caps or a plain name with a role tag (๐๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ ยท แดแด) reads as professional, while heavily styled names make mentions harder to type. Pronouns have their own field in most workspaces โ use it rather than the name where available. For statuses, the Away, Focus and OOO rows match the emoji-plus-text pattern Slack expects, and the status emoji is set separately in the status picker.
Channel Topics and Onboarding
Channel topics appear in one line at the top of the channel, so a small-caps heading followed by plain text is the most legible pattern: แดแดสแดแดsแด โ weekly design reviews, Thursdays 10:00. The Divider row suits channel descriptions and canvases where a visual break helps. The Checklist row turns a comma-separated list into โ lines for a pinned onboarding post. Channel names themselves accept only lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores, so no styling is possible there.
