A quick guide
Native formatting keeps the message editable
WhatsApp documents its own text-formatting marks. The preview here shows the exact asterisks, underscores, tildes or backticks that will be copied. Decorative Unicode is a separate experimental option and is not guaranteed to display the same way on every device.
Keep a fallback
Copy the original plain message whenever a client or device does not show the intended formatting.
Preview the marks
The tool does not fake an app screenshot. It shows the exact text WhatsApp receives so you can inspect it first.
