Is Gemini too simple for typographic emphasis?
I guess I'd enjoy seeing Gemini clients optionally offer rendering emphasized words differently, e. g. *bold*, /italic/, _underline_, optionally with(out) deleting the control characters.
On the other hand, we still are used to see ones names written without diacritics and/or transliterated (e. g. on id/credit cards), so let's keep Gemini as s i m p l e as it is. With UTF-8 there's probably enough on offer, e. g. narrow non-break space (U+202F).
