Sure, if you want screen reader users to have to hear "lattin bold capitalletter a lattin bold letter d latin bold letter o latin bold letter n latinbold letter a latin bold letter l latin bold letter s latin bold letter ilatin bold letter u latin bold letter m." I mean I knew this would starthappening because people don't like constraints on expression of text. Andnow I guess it starts.Devin Praterr.d.t.prater at gmail.com

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

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. 🚀
