The WhatsApp formatting symbols
WhatsApp reads a few plain characters as styling. Put an asterisk on each side for bold, an underscore for italic and a tilde for strikethrough. Three backticks on each side give monospace, and a single backtick on each side gives inline code.
Lists and quotes work at the start of a line. Begin with a hyphen or asterisk and a space for a bullet, a number, full stop and space for a numbered list, and a greater than sign and space for a quote.
