The first thing worth knowing here is what you cannot do, because it saves an hour of trying.
A Twitch display name can only differ from your username by capitalisation, so a styled version of it is not an option.
Everything else on your channel is fair game, and that is where styled text actually gets used.
Where styling belongs on a channel
Panel titles are the best use. They sit under the player, they are short, and a styled heading gives the layout structure that plain text does not.
Your bio takes styled characters as well, and so do chat messages, though chat is the place to be careful.
Stream titles are technically stylable and usually a bad idea, since the title is what the browse and search pages match against.
Chat and moderation
- Plenty of channels run bots that time out messages using unusual characters, because that is a common spam pattern.
- A styled message is also harder for mods to read at speed during a busy stream.
- Keep your own commands and links plain, since a styled URL will not be clickable.
- Star frames on a panel heading give the decoration without any of the risk.
Tip: I spent an evening trying to get a gothic version of my channel name to save before finding out Twitch only allows capitalisation changes to the display name. The panel headings gave me the same look on the page, and that is where viewers actually look anyway.

This page styles text you already have. If you are still working out the name itself, a nickname generator covers that side, and it is easier to pick the words first and style them once at the end.
