1. Find the tweet you want to share.
2. Copy the text you want in bold and paste it into a search box.
3. Find the tweet on a list of results, open it, and make a screenshot.

Problem

So far, Twitter doesn’t offer an option to use bold or italic text in tweets. Some users try to generate bold font effect with Unicode characters, but this is pretty difficult and time-consuming. Others use bold text generator from Yay Text.

Solution
