Yo, real talk. How did you italicize this? I *need* this, so that I don't have to keep asterisking the words I intend to italicize.

unfortunately it works by using a series of Unicode italicized mathematical symbols instead of letters which plays havoc with assistive devices like screen readers which don't know they're being used to represent text so they read the full name of each character (like MATHEMATICAL ITALIC E) out loud

Really shows the importance of words and how they're emphasized. It bothers me so much that people also don't use correct punctuation often. Sometimes, I can't tell if someone is making a statement or asking a question, among similar readings in online chats.
