      Several web sites can convert plain text to bold, italic, etc. which can be then copied into Facebook. For example https://capitalizemytitle.com/bold-text-generator/ If the NP++ encoding is set to UTF-16, some of the output from these converting web sites will appear as bold or italic when pasted into NP++.
      However, this text will not retain its bold/italic if edited.
      This suggests that bold or italic text could some how be directly typed into NP++

        The way this website works is that it replaces your characters with Unicode characters in peculiar ranges. Thus, if you enter:
        Show me.
        into that website, you get back:
        ๐’๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ž.

        But those are not the letters S, h, o, w, etc. rendered in a bold font; they are different characters entirely. If you paste into this web site
        youโ€™ll see the analysis โ€” the letters are actually mathematical symbols.

        So, when you edit and type using the keyboard, youโ€™re typing ordinary letters, not these odd Unicode characters.
