The X logo symbol ๐
The X logo looks like a double struck capital X, and Unicode has exactly that character: ๐ (U+1D54F, mathematical double struck capital X). Copy it from the symbol bar above to write the new Twitter name as a symbol in posts, bios and documents. The old blue bird logo has no Unicode character; the closest emoji is ๐ฆ.
Bold and italic on X
X has no formatting in normal posts, so bold and italic Unicode is the only way to stress a word. Use it for one or two words, not the whole post; X counts most styled letters as two characters, and screen readers read them letter by letter.
