Good point that Instagram only accepts plain text, which is why Unicode is the only way to style a bio. The bio optimisation section is useful, especially keeping searchable keywords in normal letters. I mix bold headers with a tiny font for Instagram bio details like location or pronouns, which keeps things readable.
Good overview of where special characters actually come from. I’d add a quick caution for usernames: some games and platforms reject or strip certain Unicode ranges, so it helps to test a styled name before building a whole profile around it.
