I recently saw this posted about adding emphsis with the limited markup that gemtext provides.

It's generally a bad idea to use Unicode math symbols to write anything except math equations. This has been discussed before, for example: gemini://rawtext.club/~sloum/geminilist/007518.gmi
Gemtext is a text-oriented format, so it's important to use all Unicode code points according to their intended meaning, not just by their visual appearance. This way, the text can be understood also via non-visual means like text-to-speech, screenreaders, and language translation services. 路 11 months ago
Also this from Stack Smith you has what I would consider to be an amazing take on "饾懞饾挄饾拏饾拸饾拝饾拏饾挀饾拝饾挃".
