How the superscript generator works
This superscript generator replaces each character you type with its Unicode superscript twin: a 2 becomes ², a t becomes ᵗ, a plus sign becomes ⁺. Because the result is plain text rather than formatting, you can paste it into Instagram and TikTok bios, Discord, WhatsApp, X, spreadsheets, Word and Google Docs and it stays raised. That is the difference from the superscript button in a word processor, which only changes how a normal letter is drawn and is lost the moment you paste into a plain-text field.
What can be superscripted
Unicode includes superscript forms for the digits 0 to 9, the signs + − = ( ), all 26 lowercase letters and 19 capitals (A, B, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, V and W). The capitals C, F, Q, S, X, Y and Z were never encoded, so the tool shows the small raised letter instead. Characters without any raised form, such as emoji, spaces and accented letters, are copied unchanged.
Worked examples
- Exponents: x² and 10⁻³ come from typing x2 and 10-3, the same way you would write them on a keyboard.
- Ordinals and dates: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ and 4ᵗʰ.
- Footnote markers: a claim followed by ¹ or ⁽¹⁾ in a caption or tweet.
- Trademark and units: m² and km² for area, or ᵀᴹ next to a brand name.
Common mistakes
Superscript Unicode is meant for short runs. A whole paragraph of ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ is hard to read, and screen readers often spell out each character or skip it, so do not use it for anything people need to understand by voice. Some fonts also draw the rarer letters at a different height, which can look uneven. For real mathematics, such as a long formula, use a proper equation editor; for a quick exponent in a chat message this tool is faster. Need lowered characters instead, for formulas like H₂O? Try the subscript generator, or the small text generator for small caps.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make superscript text?
Type your text in the box and copy the superscript row. Each letter and digit is replaced by its Unicode superscript character, such as x² or ᵗᵉˢᵗ, so it pastes into any app that accepts text.
Does superscript text work on Instagram, Discord and Word?
Yes. Superscript characters are normal Unicode text, so they show in Instagram and TikTok bios, Discord, X, WhatsApp, Word and Google Docs. Very old fonts may show empty boxes for a few letters.
Can I write exponents like x² or 10⁻³?
Yes. Digits 0 to 9 and the signs + − = ( ) all have superscript forms, so x², 10⁻³ and (a+b)² can be copied directly.
Why are some letters not raised?
Unicode contains a superscript form for every lowercase letter and most capitals, but seven capitals (C, F, Q, S, X, Y, Z) have no raised capital and use the small raised letter instead. Emoji and accented letters are kept unchanged.
Is superscript text the same as the formatting button in Word?
No. The Word button changes how the letter is displayed while the character stays normal. This tool replaces the character itself, so it survives copy and paste into plain-text places such as bios and usernames.
