What Unicode actually standardises
Unicode assigns every encoded character a number called a code point, written in U+ notation. It standardises which character that number represents, along with its name and properties — but not how the character is drawn. Drawing is the job of a font, which is why the same code point looks different across devices.
Why that matters for these tools
Every generator on this site substitutes characters rather than applying formatting. That is why styled text survives copy and paste into plain-text fields, and also why it behaves differently from ordinary letters in search, sorting and screen readers.
