By looking at Telegram’s “Markdown Syntax” Wiki page, it should be relatively easy to create text that is bold and italic.
There, it says that
*this is in italic* and _so is this_ **this is in bold** and __so is this__ ***this is bold and italic*** and ___so is this___ results in
this is in italic and so is this
this is in bold and so is this
this is bold and italic and so is this
.
But using
***this is bold and italic*** results in
*this is bold an italic*
and
___this is bold and italic___ results in
_this is bold an italic_
.
That is: Telegram’s markdown interpretation must have changed.
When programming a Telegram bot, it is possible to use HTML instead of markdown, but I would like to simply write some bold and italic text to my friends while regularly chatting with them.
Using the markdown syntax that is used here does not work. I already tried it.

Telegram for iOS and Android: How to format your text For all options, launch the context menu (the three-dot icon on the right or top right on Android). Choose from the options Bold, Italic, Mono, Strikeout, Underline, Create Link, and Normal.
Bold & Italics: Simply enclose the text between double asterisk ( **text** ) or two underscores ( __text__ ) to bold text. To italicise text, use single asterisks ( *text* ) or underscores ( _text_ ) before and after the text. I **love** _writing_ in __Markdown__. The word 'love' and 'Markdown' will show up as bold.
Select and right click on the text you want to format and then select "transfrom". Iphone and Android: Hold the finger in on the text you want to format to select it and you will find the formatting options there int the context menu. Xiaomi and other non supported "context menu" devices: You can still get it working!
That Wiki page is outdated. Telegram accepts standard Markdown text formatting:
* = **hello world** _ = __hello world__ ` = ```hello world```
