Starting from scratch, what are the steps to make the bug happen?
The fewer the steps, the better.

Additional information

I don’t see this happening on the computer version - it seems to only happen on the mobile app.

When using English and Korean characters together, only English is bolded.

Bold seems alright on iOS.

Can you paste an example of the text here in a code block so that Android users can check? Also, if you haven’t yet, can you try in a new test vault?

Here is code:


기본
Normal

**볼드**
**Bold**

__볼드__
__Bold__

I was able to get around this problem this way.
