Does the Roblox Website Read Bold Font Different From Regular Text?

Hi there, I was doing a little bit of experimenting with the Bold Font Generator, which you can alter regular text to either look Bold, Italic, or some other font and then paste it on the Roblox Website to make things like Group Descriptions more interesting.

Then I made the discovery that the group search for regular text and the altered Bold text yields different results in the Group Search, including a group that doesn’t have the very word in the group name or description.

When I tried to do a Text-to-speech on the bolded text, my computer doesn’t say anything - it stays silent.

So, that comes to the question, does the Roblox Website Read/Interpret words from regular text and bold text differently?

Here’s some screenshots to illustrate:

This may be down to the fact that bold text is stored differently on some systems, as it can class as a different character. This may be why ROBLOX doesn’t recognise bold lettering in searches and why text to speech cannot pick it up.
