Superscript generator

What is superscript?

Superscript characters sit above the normal line, like the 2 in x². Subscript characters sit below it, like the 2 in H₂O. They're used for exponents, chemical formulas, footnotes, ordinal markers and trademark-style labels, and for cute tiny text online.

How to type superscript anywhere

1. Type your text, such as x2 or H2O.
2. Copy the superscript or subscript version. Every number and most letters convert.
3. Paste it into a document, message, spreadsheet or post. Unlike formatting, it stays raised everywhere.

Common uses

• Maths: x² + y² = z², 10⁶, 2⁻¹
• Chemistry: H₂O, CO₂, C₆H₁₂O₆
• Footnotes: a reference marker like ¹ or ²
• Social posts: tiny asides and whispers

How it works (it's not a font)

These styles aren't fonts. They are real Unicode characters, the same system that powers emoji and every alphabet on Earth. Unicode includes complete sets of bold, italic, script, gothic and double-struck letters, originally created for maths and science. Because they are characters rather than formatting, they survive copy and paste into places that normally strip formatting, like Instagram bios, TikTok captions and Discord names.

A few apps or older phones may not have every symbol, and those show a box instead. If that happens, choose a different style. Bold, italic and script are the most widely supported.
