# Italic text generator

https://flaghand.com/italic-text-generator turns text into italic Unicode letters (mathematical sans-serif) that you copy and paste
anywhere text goes: a post on X or LinkedIn, a bio, a message. They are characters, not formatting, so they stay italic.
A-Z and a-z turn italic; digits stay plain (bold in bold italic); everything else stays as typed. Free, no sign-up. It runs in your browser: nothing you type or add is uploaded or stored, and there is no API.

## How to use it

1. Type or paste your text.
2. Choose Copy beside the style you want (Italic and Bold italic), and paste it.

Screen readers may skip these letters or read them out one by one, and search may not find them: style a few words, not
whole posts, and keep names, handles, hashtags and links plain. Each styled letter counts 2 characters on X and LinkedIn.
To style only some words of a post and see it as X or LinkedIn draws it, use https://flaghand.com/x-text-formatter or
https://flaghand.com/linkedin-text-formatter.

An agent can open it with the text in the link's hash, which never reaches a server:
https://flaghand.com/italic-text-generator#text=Hello%20world

## Questions.

### How does an italic text generator work?

Unicode has a second alphabet of italic letters, made for mathematics. The generator swaps each letter of your text for its italic twin. They are characters, not formatting, so they stay italic where you paste them: a post on X or LinkedIn, a bio, a message. Most phones and computers draw them.

### Which characters turn italic?

A to Z and a to z. Digits have no italic twin, so they stay plain (in bold italic they turn bold). Accented letters, other alphabets, punctuation and emoji stay as you typed them.

### Can screen readers read italic Unicode text?

Not always. Screen readers may skip these letters, spell them out one by one or read their Unicode names, and search may not match them to the plain words. Use italics for a few words, not whole posts, and keep names, @handles, hashtags and links plain.

### Do italic letters count more on X and LinkedIn?

Yes. Each italic letter counts 2 characters on X and on LinkedIn, so an italic sentence takes twice the room.

### Is my text uploaded?

No. It is changed in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored, and the page sets no cookies.

To style only some words of a post and see it as each site draws it, use the [X text formatter](https://flaghand.com/x-text-formatter) or the [LinkedIn text formatter](https://flaghand.com/linkedin-text-formatter).
