HTML, fancy Unicode, and hidden marks
This cleaner strips tags, converts many mathematical bold/italic letters back toward Latin, and drops common format characters. The goal is a paste that behaves in a plain `
After a Slack dump or a “font” bio
Use it when a coworker pasted gothic Unicode into a ticket, or when Word’s clipboard injected `<!--` comments. Unicode to Text is more aggressive on styled letters if this pass leaves leftovers. Plain Text Converter is better when you want list markers kept from HTML.

Frequently asked questions
Will it remove bold from Word?
It removes the markup Word puts on the clipboard, not a .docx file you never pasted. Open the document, copy the text, then clean it here.
Is every Unicode font mapped back?
Many mathematical and enclosed letters are. Rare private-use glyphs may remain. Use Unicode to Text for a dedicated reverse map.
Does it change my wording?
No. It does not paraphrase. It only strips presentation so the same words remain.
