What is Subscript and Superscript Text?
Subscript text appears slightly below the normal line of text (like the "2" in H₂O), while superscript text appears slightly above (like the "2" in x²). These are commonly used in mathematical formulas, chemical equations, and footnotes.
This tool uses Unicode characters to create subscript and superscript effects that can be copied and pasted anywhere. Unlike HTML tags, these characters work on social media platforms, messaging apps, and anywhere else that supports Unicode text.
We also include a Small Caps generator, which creates text using ᴛɪɴʏ ᴄᴀᴘɪᴛᴀʟ ʟᴇᴛᴛᴇʀs - perfect for stylish headers and unique formatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some characters missing?
Not all letters have Unicode subscript or superscript equivalents. Numbers and common letters are well-supported, but some characters may remain unchanged if no equivalent exists in Unicode.
When should I use subscript vs superscript?
Use superscript for exponents (x²), footnotes, and ordinal indicators (1ˢᵗ). Use subscript for chemical formulas (H₂O, CO₂), mathematical indices, and phonetic transcriptions.
Will this work on all platforms?
Yes! Since these are Unicode characters, they work on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, WhatsApp, and most modern platforms. However, some older systems may not display all characters correctly.
