X
X's bio (160 characters) and display name (50 characters) are both separate from the @username, which — like most platforms in this list — is restricted to plain letters, numbers and underscores. Posts themselves are capped at 280 characters on a standard account, longer for subscribers on paid tiers; styled Unicode counts the same as any other character toward that limit.

Where this fits on X

- A 160-character field that renders any Unicode character, a common place for one styled line or tagline.
- Display name
- Separate from your @username and the field where styled Unicode is most visible, shown next to every post.
- Posts
- Styled Unicode is often used for a single emphasized word or opening line rather than an entire post.

Tips for X
- Styled Unicode goes in your bio, display name or post text — the @username field is restricted to plain letters, numbers and underscores.
- Each styled character still counts as one character toward X's post limit, the same as a plain letter.
- A styled display name is seen next to every post you make, so it's worth checking how it looks at the small size X actually displays it at, not just in the generator.
Compatibility
X's bio, display name and post fields render plain Unicode text, so letter-substitution styles like bold and cursive display reliably across the app and website, while combining-mark-heavy styles are more prone to rendering inconsistently depending on the reader's device.
