How Superscript Text Works
Superscript text uses special Unicode characters that are designed to appear smaller and raised above the normal text baseline. These aren't styled versions of regular letters—they're completely separate characters in the Unicode standard.
Unicode Superscript Blocks
U+2070 to U+2079 (⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹)
U+02B0 to U+02FF (ʰʲˡˢˣʸ etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't the letter "q" convert to superscript?▼
Unicode doesn't include a superscript version of the letter "q". This is a limitation of the Unicode standard, not our tool. The letter will remain as a regular "q" in the output.
Will superscript text work on social media?▼
Yes! Superscript characters are Unicode text, so they work on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and most other platforms. They'll display correctly for everyone.
Can I use superscript in my username?▼
Many platforms allow superscript characters in usernames, but some may restrict them. Discord, most games, and social media generally support them.
How is this different from HTML <sup> tags?▼
HTML superscript tags style regular characters to appear raised, but only work in HTML environments. Our tool uses actual Unicode superscript characters that work anywhere text is supported.
Can screen readers read superscript text?▼
Screen reader support varies. Some may read superscript numbers correctly (especially for math), while letters may be read as their modifier letter names. For accessibility, consider providing context.
Why do some superscript letters look different?▼
Superscript characters come from different Unicode blocks and may have slightly different designs. Some are true superscripts while others are "modifier letters" designed for linguistic use.
