@bigidea A message to anyone using non-standard font/display characters — for forced cursive, italic, gothic, bold, monotype effects; or flipped, reversed order, &/or rotated/upside-down letters — in usernames, or, worse, in posts: DON’T.
Assistive tech will either announce each character in exhaustive, excruciating technical detail — because each is a glyph with a specific meaning, not the stylized letters they sometimes appear — or simply ignore them, creating an informational black hole. Either way it’s frustrating & annoying as hell.
Most sighted users hate them, too.
They don’t make you look original or different — they instead signal you don’t care about those who use assistive technology.
