I would to convert text to unicode bold format.

I found

Here is a quick code snippet which does what you are asking for:

let text = "This is a text: ABC";
function translate (char)
{
    let diff;
    if (/[A-Z]/.test (char))
    {
        diff = "𝗔".codePointAt (0) - "A".codePointAt (0);
    }
    else
    {
        diff = "𝗮".codePointAt (0) - "a".codePointAt (0);
    }
    return String.fromCodePoint (char.codePointAt (0) + diff);
}
let newText = text.replace (/[A-Za-z]/g, translate);
console.log (text);
console.log (newText); // -> "𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁: 𝗔𝗕𝗖"
