What is the difference between the serif and sans bold?

The serif bold has small strokes on the ends of letters and reads as more traditional, while the sans bold is cleaner and more modern. Both are genuinely bold weights, so pick whichever matches the look you are after; the sans version tends to render more reliably across apps.

Why does the bold text not work in some places?

A few apps and forms strip styled characters back to plain text, and a small number of older devices cannot display the bold Unicode block. In those cases the text falls back to normal or shows boxes. Pasting a quick sample where you intend to use it tells you straight away.

Are these real fonts, and will they work everywhere?

They are not font files. Each style is made of real Unicode characters that look like a styled font, which is why you can copy them and paste them straight into a bio, post or message without installing anything. Because they are normal characters, they show up in most apps and on most devices. A few places that strip formatting, and some older phones, may show plain boxes for the rarer styles, so it is worth pasting a sample where you plan to use it.
