Why Unicode Formatting?
LinkedIn doesn’t support Markdown or rich text editing in posts. But with Unicode bold and italic characters, you can add visual hierarchy and emphasis that makes your posts more engaging and easier to read.
How to Use Bullet Points
The bullet system works in two steps:
- Select a bullet style first — Choose your preferred bullet character from the bullet selector (▸ ● ◆ ✦ → ✅ 🔹 ⚡ 💡)
- Click the Bullet button — The selected bullet will be inserted at your cursor position
This means you can mix and match different bullet styles within the same post by selecting a different style before clicking the Bullet button.
