❓ Cool borders FAQ
Why is my frame uneven on Instagram?
Most apps render text in a proportional font, which means each character has a different width. Frames look pixel-perfect in monospace contexts (Discord code blocks, terminals) and approximate elsewhere.
Can I use this for emails?
Yes — Unicode lines work in every modern email client. Keep them simple to look right on mobile.
