It's as per commonmark standard. Even GitHub doesn't render that as bold without spaces.

Okay, thank you for your reply. I understand now. The Typora I am using is supported. I'm still puzzled why adding spaces is necessary when using this combination. I'll close the issue

I'm still puzzled why adding spaces is necessary when using this combination.

It's based on the concept of left/right flanking delimiter runs - https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#left-flanking-delimiter-run -- that in turn is adapted from some older tool. This example shows what you're experiencing - https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#example-380 -- (` is treated as a punctuation).

If you want to deviate from the standard, you can do so by modifying markdown-it parser like this:

// .vitepress/config.ts

import { isWhiteSpace } from 'markdown-it/lib/common/utils.mjs'
import { defineConfig } from 'vitepress'

export default defineConfig({
  markdown: {
    config(md) {
      // https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/a367c44154d6c906c8652ed779af6a21f7eaed2e/lib/rules_inline/state_inline.mjs#L88
      // modified to ignore punctuation characters
      md.inline.State.prototype.scanDelims = function (start, canSplitWord) {
        const max = this.posMax
        const marker = this.src.charCodeAt(start)

        // treat beginning of the line as a whitespace
        const lastChar = start > 0 ? this.src.charCodeAt(start - 1) : 0x20

        let pos = start
        while (pos < max && this.src.charCodeAt(pos) === marker) {
          pos++
        }
        const count = pos - start

        // treat end of the line as a whitespace
        const nextChar = pos < max ? this.src.charCodeAt(pos) : 0x20

        const isLastPunctChar = false // MODIFIED
        const isNextPunctChar = false // MODIFIED

        const isLastWhiteSpace = isWhiteSpace(lastChar)
        const isNextWhiteSpace = isWhiteSpace(nextChar)

        const left_flanking =
          !isNextWhiteSpace &&
          (!isNextPunctChar || isLastWhiteSpace || isLastPunctChar)
        const right_flanking =
          !isLastWhiteSpace &&
          (!isLastPunctChar || isNextWhiteSpace || isNextPunctChar)

        const can_open =
          left_flanking && (canSplitWord || !right_flanking || isLastPunctChar)
        const can_close =
          right_flanking && (canSplitWord || !left_flanking || isNextPunctChar)

        return { can_open, can_close, length: count }
      }
    }
  }
})

(You'll need to install markdown-it and @types/markdown-it)
