Write the post here, select the words, click B, copy and paste into Facebook. Page posts have no bold button, so the bold comes from Unicode letters.

How Facebook text formatting works
Posts and comments
Styled letters paste into Page posts, comments and Reels captions like any text, and look the same on phones and desktop.
Never in names
Facebook's name rules ban symbols and unusual characters in profile and Page names. Keep styled letters for posts.
Bold the first line
Facebook cuts long posts after a few lines with "See more". A bold first line carries the point into the feed.
Example: “Big news” = 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: 8 characters on Facebook

On almost every current phone and browser, yes. Very old devices may show empty boxes instead of the styled letters.
It can be. Some screen readers skip styled letters, others spell each one out. Style a few words, never a whole post, and never your name or a link.
Yes. No signup, no limit, and your text never leaves your browser.
