Pretty sure it doesn’t work on Twitter (I just tried) – the asterisks works on YouTube, the / not so much…

It works on Twitter, YouTube and many other places because some old ASCII nerds wrote the code I guess ;)

As the site notes, these characters will not work with all fonts.

Also as noted, the unusual text may well trip up things like text readers for visually impaired folks.

Just a little caveat for folks who think this is an overall solution for Twitter formatting.
