Superscript Generator

How it works

1. 1Type or paste your text in the box labelled "Your text". It holds up to 280 characters.
2. 2Read the three rows: Superscript, Subscript and Small caps (tiny letters). Each shows your text in that style.
3. 3Look under each row. It lists the characters that have no tiny form and stayed as you typed them.
4. 4Tick the box above the rows if you want a capital that has no tiny capital to use the lowercase tiny letter instead.
5. 5Press Copy on the row you want. The button says "Copied" for a moment. Paste the result where you need it.

How to use the Superscript Generator

The tool opens with the sample text "H2O, x2 + y3 = 10 (E=mc2)". Replace it with your own words in the box labelled "Your text", which holds up to 280 characters. The three rows below the box update as you type, so there is no button to press to create them.

Each row shows one style and has its own Copy button. Press Copy, then paste the result into your message, document, bio or post.

Superscript and subscript: what the tool makes

Superscript is a small character written above the line, as in the 2 of x². Subscript is a small character written below the line, as in the 2 of H₂O. This page changes each character of your text into the Unicode character that looks like its superscript or subscript form.

It is not a font and it is not formatting. A word processor can raise any character with a superscript button. A pasted Unicode character works in plain text, such as a chat, a social media bio or a form field, where there is no such button.

Which letters have a superscript form

Unicode has a superscript form for all 10 digits, for + - = ( ) and for the 26 small letters. Capitals are patchier. The tool uses these forms:

• Digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 become ⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹.
• Small letters a to z all change. The letter q uses ᑫ, a look-alike from the Canadian syllabics block, because it is the one widely drawn raised q.
• Capitals A B D E G H I J K L M N O P R T U V W change (19 of 26).
• Capitals C F Q S X Y Z stay as typed. Unicode has no superscript S, X, Y or Z. It added superscript C, F and Q only in Unicode 14 (2021), and this page leaves them out so that every character it makes is an older one that more fonts can draw.

Subscript generator: what is missing

The subscript generator side of the tool is more limited, because Unicode has far fewer subscript characters. There are subscript forms for the 10 digits, for + - = ( ) and for 17 small letters: a e h i j k l m n o p r s t u v x.

There are no subscript capitals, and no subscript b c d f g q w y z. Those characters stay as you typed them, and the page lists them under the Subscript row.

This is why chemical formulas work well: type H2O and the Subscript row gives H₂O, because the capitals H and O have no subscript form and stay full size while the digit drops.

Tiny letter generator: small caps

People who search for a tiny letter generator or a small text generator often want small capital letters, which are capitals drawn at the height of small letters, as in ʜᴇʟʟᴏ. The third row makes them. It uses the same table as the Small caps style of the Fancy Text Generator.

Capitals and small letters give the same small capital. The letter x stays as typed, because Unicode has no small capital x. The letter q uses ǫ, a look-alike (an o with a small hook), because there is no widely drawn small capital q.

Characters that stay as typed

Nothing is dropped. A character with no tiny form stays as you typed it, and the page lists it under the row, so you can see why a word looks half small and half full size. Spaces, punctuation and emoji stay too.

If you tick the box above the rows, a capital with no tiny capital uses the tiny form of the lowercase letter instead. For example C becomes ᶜ. This gives a more even look, but the letter is then lowercase.

Mix normal and tiny text

The tool changes the whole text in the box. To put one tiny part inside normal text, convert just that part and paste it in place. Typing 2 gives ² in the Superscript row, so x followed by that 2 reads as x². Typing TM gives ᵀᴹ, and typing 1st gives ¹ˢᵗ.

Where tiny text does not work

Superscript and subscript characters work only where the app accepts Unicode text and the font has a picture for them. Some fonts draw the rarer ones too small, too light or as an empty box.

• Sites that accept only plain letters and numbers may reject or strip them.
• A search for plain letters will not find text written in tiny characters.
• Screen readers may read them one by one by their Unicode names, skip them or read them badly.
• Do not use tiny characters for a password or a username. A sign-up form can refuse them.
