Pinterest offers no formatting for pin titles or descriptions. Unicode characters let you emphasise individual words anyway.
Extra caution applies here though: Pinterest works primarily as a search engine. Descriptions with relevant keywords decide whether your pins get found at all — and search does not recognise special characters as normal words.
Use the styles for individual accents at most and keep your keywords in normal text. You have 500 characters in the description.
Frequently asked questions
Can you write pin descriptions in bold?
Not through Pinterest itself. Using Unicode characters from this tool works anyway.
Does it hurt my Pinterest ranking?
Possibly. Pinterest is a search engine — special characters are not recognised as keywords. Keep important terms in normal text.
How long can a pin description be?
Up to 500 characters.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No, everything runs in your browser.
