Superscript Generator
A superscript generator converts plain letters and digits into small raised Unicode characters — the style used for exponents, footnote markers, and ordinal suffixes like 2ⁿᵈ. It works by swapping each character for its matching superscript code point, so the raised text is plain, copy-pasteable Unicode rather than an image or a font effect.
Type your text into the box above and this superscript generator raises every supported letter and digit as you type. The conversion happens instantly in your browser — there is no upload, no waiting, and no account required, and this superscript generator never sends what you type to a server.
Superscript characters live scattered across a few different corners of Unicode originally built for phonetic notation and math, which means the coverage a superscript generator can offer is not perfectly complete. Every digit 0-9 has a superscript form, and most letters do too, but Unicode never defined a raised version of every single letter — most notably lowercase q has no superscript glyph anywhere in the standard, so a superscript generator built on real Unicode code points has to leave it as-is rather than invent one.
A style selector on this superscript generator switches to the opposite lowered effect any time you need it, using the text you already typed, without retyping a thing.
What a superscript generator is used for
Superscript text is the small, raised style used for exponents (x²), ordinal suffixes (1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ), footnote markers, and trademark or copyright symbols placed above the baseline.
- Math and science notation typed outside a dedicated equation editor.
- Footnote references in plain-text documents or chat.
- Stylized usernames and bios on platforms with no formatting toolbar.
Because the output of a superscript generator is real Unicode, it lets you add this styling anywhere plain text goes — something a word processor's superscript button cannot do once the text leaves that document. A superscript generator you can reach from any browser tab removes that limit entirely.
Where superscript coverage stops
Unicode defines superscript versions of all ten digits, most lowercase letters, and a smaller set of uppercase letters — but not all of them, which shapes what any superscript generator can reliably output.
- All digits 0-9 have a superscript form.
- Every lowercase letter has one except
q, which has no standard superscript glyph. - Roughly half the uppercase alphabet has a superscript form; letters like C, F, and S do not.
This superscript generator leaves any unsupported letter exactly as typed instead of guessing at a lookalike, so mixed-case or full-alphabet text run through the superscript generator stays readable even where coverage runs out.
Superscript compared to the lowered style
Superscript raises characters above the line; the opposite style lowers them below it — chemistry formulas like H₂O use the lowered form, while exponents like x² use the raised one this superscript generator produces by default. The same tool covers both directions from one input box, so you can compare CO₂ against x² without retyping anything, just by switching the style selector next to the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Updated August 2026How do I make superscript text?
Type your text into the box above. This superscript generator converts each supported letter and digit into its small, raised Unicode form as you type — copy the result with the button below the tool.
Why doesn't every letter convert to superscript?
Unicode never defined a superscript glyph for every letter — lowercase q and several uppercase letters (C, F, Q, S, X, Y, Z) have no standard raised form. This superscript generator leaves unsupported letters unchanged rather than replacing them with an unrelated character.
Is this a subscript and superscript generator, or just one style?
Both — this is a combined subscript and superscript generator. Switch the style selector next to the input box and the same tool lowers your text instead of raising it, without losing what you typed or opening a separate page.
Will superscript text paste correctly into other apps?
Yes, since the output of this superscript generator is standard Unicode text rather than a font effect. It pastes into bios, chat, documents, and spreadsheets the same way regular characters do.
