Discord formatting vs. fancy fonts
Discord’s own **bold** and *italic* only work in messages. Fancy fonts are characters, so they also work in nicknames, server names and channel names.

FAQ
Can I use fancy fonts in channel names?
Yes, most styles work. Discord changes channel names to lowercase, so styles with capital letters may look different.
