Frequently Asked Questions
What are small caps used for?▼
Small caps are traditionally used for acronyms (NASA, USA), time designations (AM/PM), era indicators (BC/AD), and to add elegance to titles and headers. They provide emphasis without the aggressive feel of ALL CAPS.
Will small caps work on Instagram and Twitter?▼
Yes! These are Unicode characters that work on all social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. They display correctly for all users.
Why doesn't the letter X convert properly?▼
Unicode doesn't include a distinct small caps version of the letter X. The regular lowercase x is already similar in size to small caps, so it's used as-is.

CSS small-caps is a styling property that only works in web browsers. Unicode small caps (generated here) are actual characters that work everywhere—documents, social media, emails, and any app that displays text.

Are small caps accessible for screen readers?▼
