Where is this string used? Label or in another type of container?

You can't. Strings themselves do not have attributes. The "bold" is the responsibility of the display container not of the string.

You can't.
Strings do not have formatting information: all "features" such as Bold, Underline, Italic and so forth are functions of the display device, not of the text itself, and the exact requirements to display a string as Bold depend on exactly what you are using to display it.

A text file does not have any formatting information - none of it is Bold, or underlined - but the text it contains may contain formatting information that can be interpretted by a particular display device. For websites, that generally means the text containing HTML:

Hello: <b>Bold</b>

But for Rich Text controls that might be:

{\rtf1\ansi Hello: \b Bold\b0.}

And there are loads and loads of other ways to indicate this!
