This new feature can be experienced immediately by subscribing to the subscription service Twitter Blue.

An example tweet looks like this. The 'Yes!!!!' part is bold + italic.

'Happy' is bold and 'days!!!' is italic.

Everything below is in italics, and the 'Cool Feature' part is also in bold.

Bold letters are also OK in Japanese. It seems that italic is only for single byte characters.

In addition, the iOS version application and browser version support bold and italic display, and the Android version application ignores bold and italic settings (normal fine print).
