How to use the superscript generator
- Type or paste into Your text. The sample shows “E=mc2 and x2+y2”.
- Watch Styled text fill in as you type. Characters with a raised form shrink and rise; the rest stay as typed.
- Copy only the part you need, or press Copy for the whole line.
What it does and when to use it
Plain-text fields cannot raise characters, so exponents, ordinals and trademark marks look flat. This tool fills the gap for short bits: cm², 10⁶, 1ˢᵗ place, a footnote mark, or a raised ᵀᴹ after a name. It also makes “tiny text” for jokes and whispers in bios.
For lowered characters, use the subscript generator. For small letters that sit on the line instead of above it, the small caps generator gives a neater look with fewer gaps. To check what any of these characters is called, paste it into the Unicode character lookup.
How it works
Unicode has no single complete superscript alphabet, so the tool gathers characters from several blocks:
| Characters | Unicode block |
|---|---|
| ¹ ² ³ | Latin-1 Supplement |
| ⁰ ⁴–⁹ ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ ⁱ ⁿ | Superscripts and Subscripts (U+2070–U+209F) |
| ʰ ʲ ʳ ʷ ʸ ˡ ˢ ˣ | Spacing Modifier Letters |
| ᵃ ᵇ ᵈ ᵉ ᵍ … and capitals ᴬ ᴮ ᴰ … ᵂ | Phonetic Extensions |
| ᶜ ᶠ ᶻ | Phonetic Extensions Supplement |
| ⱽ | Latin Extended-C |
Each character in your text is looked up in that table. If there is no entry, it is copied as it is. Capitals are not turned into raised lowercase, so the case you typed is kept wherever possible.
Worked examples
All three come from the tool’s own function:
x2+y2=z2→ˣ²⁺ʸ²⁼ᶻ². Every character here has a raised form.1st 2nd 3rd→¹ˢᵗ ²ⁿᵈ ³ʳᵈ. Usually you would keep the number normal and raise only the “st”.SQUARE→SQᵁᴬᴿᴱ. S and Q have no raised capital, so they stay large and the word looks broken. Type it in lowercase if you want every letter raised (only q would stay full size).
Limits and tips
- Readability. Many of these characters are phonetic symbols. Screen readers may call them “modifier letter small t” or skip them, and search will not match them to normal letters or numbers. Use them for decoration and short maths, not for whole messages.
- Not for real documents. In Word, Google Docs or HTML, use the built-in superscript formatting instead.
- Conversion happens in your browser; your text is not sent anywhere.
