Where to use it
- A quiet tagline under a name in a bio
- Footnote marks, units and simple formulas in plain text, such as x² or H₂O

Three kinds of small text
Small Caps (ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴘʀɪɴᴛ) turns lowercase letters into capitals the height of a lowercase x. It reads cleanly and suits names and short headings.
Superscript (ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵖʳⁱⁿᵗ) raises the letters above the line, like an exponent or a footnote mark. It covers almost the whole lowercase alphabet and many capitals, so it is the most complete way to make tiny text.
Subscript (ₛₘₐₗₗ ₚᵣᵢₙₜ) lowers the letters below the line, as in chemical formulas. It has the fewest letters, so it is best for short words made from the letters it supports.
Compatibility notes
These are Unicode characters, not a font file. They come from several Unicode blocks for phonetic and modifier letters, which is why coverage is uneven and why letters in one word can look slightly different in size or weight. The tool never replaces a missing letter with a different-looking symbol; it keeps it as it was and tells you.
Recent Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac devices display all three styles, though some subscript letters may look misaligned or fall back to another font on older devices. Screen readers usually read small caps as individual letters and may skip or rename superscript and subscript letters.
Frequently asked questions
Why are some letters not small?
Unicode has small versions of most letters, but not all. Superscript has no q and no capital C, F, Q, S, X, Y or Z. Subscript only covers a, e, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v and x. Small Caps has no q or x. Letters without a match are kept as normal characters, and the tool shows how many.
What happens to capital letters in Small Caps?
They stay as normal capitals. That is how small caps work in typography, where capitals are full height and the other letters become small capitals. For an all-small look, type in lowercase.
Can I write numbers in superscript or subscript?
Yes. Both styles include the digits 0 to 9 and the symbols + − = ( ). Small Caps has no special digits, so numbers stay normal.
Does small text count as fewer characters?
No. Each small letter is still one character, so the text is not shorter for character limits.
Should I use this for exponents and chemical formulas in documents?
In Word, Google Docs or email, use the editor's superscript and subscript formatting instead. It works for every letter and stays searchable. These characters are for places without formatting, such as chats and social posts.
