Superscript Generator & Subscript Generator
Our superscript and subscript generator converts your regular text into Unicode superscript and subscript characters that you can copy and paste anywhere. Unlike HTML formatting tags (<sup> and <sub>) that only work in web pages, Unicode superscript and subscript characters are real text characters that display correctly on every platform, including social media, messaging apps, documents, and plain text.
How Superscript and Subscript Unicode Works
Unicode includes a set of characters specifically designed to appear as raised (superscript) or lowered (subscript) text. For example, the regular letter "a" has a superscript version "ᵃ" (U+1D43 Modifier Letter Small A) and a subscript version "ₐ" (U+2090 Latin Subscript Small Letter A). These are completely separate code points from the regular letter, meaning they inherently appear in a raised or lowered position without any formatting applied.
Character Coverage
Superscript Unicode has excellent coverage: all 26 lowercase letters (except q), all digits 0-9, and several symbols (+, -, =, (, )) have dedicated superscript characters. Subscript coverage is more limited: only about 15 lowercase letters and all digits 0-9 have subscript equivalents. Characters without Unicode equivalents will remain in their original form in the output.
Use Cases
- Math notation - Write exponents (x²), powers (2ⁿ), and mathematical expressions in plain text
- Chemical formulas - Write formulas like H₂O, CO₂, and C₆H₁₂O₆ using subscript characters
- Footnotes and references - Add superscript numbers for footnote indicators in social media posts and messages
- Social media bios - Create compact, elevated text for Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok bios
- Creative text - Combine with other fancy text styles for unique formatting effects
