Keep the handle intact when you style a caption

If you paste decorative small caps into a plain-text field, you’re copying different characters, not setting a font. That distinction matters when the caption contains something the app needs to recognize, such as a username or web address.

Try this sample:

Hello @alex https://example.com

With link and mention protection on, the tool I maintain produces:

ʜᴇʟʟᴏ @alex https://example.com

Only the greeting changes. The username and URL still have their original characters. It is still worth checking the pasted result in the destination app, since the app decides what becomes a mention or link.

Unicode small caps do not cover every letter uniformly. In this particular mapping, x, digits, and accented letters stay as typed. Capitalization also cannot be reconstructed from the result, since A and a map to the same character. Keep names or instructions in plain text when readers need to search for them or copy them exactly.

I work on the Small Caps Generator. It lets you compare the result against the original before copying.
