Markdown Bold Formatting Issue with Full-Width Punctuation

ChatGPT Bugs
1

I have encountered an issue where bold formatting does not work correctly when applied to part of a paragraph that contains full-width punctuation marks (such as ， 。 ？ ！). This issue seems to occur only when:

  1. The bolded text is within a paragraph (not the entire paragraph).

  2. The bolded text contains full-width punctuation marks.

  3. The same formatting works fine when using half-width punctuation marks (, . ? !).

This affects users who write in languages that use full-width punctuation, such as Chinese and Japanese. Since these punctuation marks are standard in these languages, Markdown should ideally support them correctly within bolded text.

I’m glad someone encountered and raised the same issue as me; OpenAI should pay attention to our Chinese and Japanese experiences
