## Key points

- LinkedIn has no formatting buttons for posts; the formatter uses Unicode look-alike characters that display on all current devices
- Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl/Cmd+B bold, Ctrl/Cmd+I italic, Ctrl/Cmd+U underline
- Character counter against LinkedIn's 3,000-character limit
- Caveats: screen readers may read styled letters oddly and LinkedIn search matches plain letters only
- Want posts written for you? Commentify's Post Agent learns your voice from your past LinkedIn posts and drafts 3-5 posts a week with an image for each, from $39/mo with a 5-day free trial
