Davin beat me to it.

The idea of 'well lets just use the bold unicode' is... an anti feature for anyone needing anything adaptive, and goes counter to offloading presentation elements onto the client.

Sure, if you want screen reader users to have to hear "lattin bold
capital letter a lattin bold letter d latin bold letter o latin bold
letter n latin bold letter a latin bold letter l latin bold letter s
latin bold letter i latin bold letter u latin bold letter m." I mean I
knew this would start happening because people don't like constraints
on expression of text. And now I guess it starts.

If you think of “highlight” as bolding, then —
At least for the alphabet we commonly associate with English,
Unicode has bold versions of those characters:
𝐀 𝐁 𝐂 𝐃 𝐄 𝐅 𝐆 𝐇 𝐈 𝐉 𝐊 𝐋 𝐌 𝐍 𝐎 𝐏 𝐐 𝐑 𝐒 𝐓 𝐔 𝐕
𝐖 𝐗 𝐘 𝐙
𝐚 𝐛 𝐜 𝐝 𝐞 𝐟 𝐠 𝐡 𝐢 𝐣 𝐤 𝐥 𝐦 𝐧 𝐨 𝐩 𝐪 𝐫 𝐬 𝐭 𝐮 𝐯
𝐰 𝐱 𝐲 𝐳
𝟎 𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟒 𝟓 𝟔 𝟕 𝟖 𝟗
𝗔 𝗕 𝗖 𝗗 𝗘 𝗙 𝗚 𝗛 𝗜 𝗝 𝗞 𝗟 𝗠 𝗡 𝗢 𝗣 𝗤 𝗥 𝗦 𝗧 𝗨 𝗩

If you are writing English, you could use those characters.

Gemini now expects the "* " tag for lists.
I propose a single "**" tag, which I call "highlighted", which
can be used several times in each paragraph of text as a
switch that was initially turned off.
Each client can interpret "highlighted" at will.
Now I throw this message into space. 🚀
