What is superscript text?

Superscript text is small, raised characters that sit above the baseline, like the exponent in x². This tool uses real Unicode superscript characters so they can be copied and pasted as plain text.

How does the conversion work?

Each digit and letter is matched against a lookup table of Unicode superscript code points. Characters with no superscript equivalent are left unchanged so spacing and punctuation are preserved.

Do all letters have a superscript form?

Most lowercase letters and all digits have Unicode superscript forms. A few letters, notably q, have no standard superscript character, so they pass through unchanged.

Where is superscript text useful?

It is handy for footnote markers, exponents, ordinal indicators like 1ˢᵗ, trademark-style notes and decorative usernames where a true superscript font is not available.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing you type leaves your device.

Superscript Text Converter

The superscript converter turns ordinary text into small, raised Unicode characters that sit above the baseline. Because these are genuine Unicode code points rather than a font effect, the result can be copied into footnotes, exponents, ordinals, and bios on platforms that do not support rich text formatting.

How it works

Each character is looked up in a table of Unicode superscript code points. Digits map cleanly: 0→⁰ (U+2070), 1→¹ (U+00B9), 2→², and so on. Most lowercase letters have a superscript modifier-letter form, such as a→ᵃ (U+1D43) and n→ⁿ (U+207F). Uppercase letters are folded to lowercase before lookup. Any character without a superscript equivalent — including the letter q, spaces, and most punctuation — passes through unchanged so the text stays legible.

Example

The string x2 becomes ˣ²: x maps to the superscript modifier ˣ and 2 maps to ². An ordinal like 1st becomes ¹ˢᵗ. To lower characters below the baseline instead, use the subscript converter.
