Works in Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), Facebook, Discord, YouTube and most apps that accept emoji. These are Unicode characters, not formatting, so screen readers may not read them as normal words: use them for short decorative text.

How to use the Superscript Generator

Type or paste your text into the box.
Compare the styles: the main superscript version is at the top, other variations below it.
Press Copy next to the style you like.
Paste it into your bio, caption, post, comment or chat.
Check the note under the result for any characters that could not be converted.

Which characters have superscript forms?

Unicode does not have a complete superscript alphabet. Digits and + − = ( ) come from the Superscripts and Subscripts block and Latin-1 (¹ ² ³), while most letters are modifier letters borrowed from phonetic alphabets. There is no widely supported superscript q, and capitals C, F, Q, S, X, Y and Z are missing. The table shows every supported character.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type superscript numbers?

Type normal digits above and copy the result: 2 becomes ², 3 becomes ³ and so on. On Windows you can also use Alt codes for ¹ ² ³; this tool gives you all ten digits.

Why are some letters not converted?

Unicode has superscript (modifier) forms for most lowercase letters but not q, and for only some capitals (no C, F, Q, S, X, Y or Z). Those characters are left unchanged and listed under the result. The "closest match" style uses the other case instead.

Is Unicode superscript the same as HTML <sup>?

No. HTML <sup> and Word superscript are formatting that disappears in plain text. Unicode superscript characters are real characters, so they survive copy and paste into any text field.

Can I write chemical formulas or math?

Yes for exponents like x² or 10⁻³ and ions like Ca²⁺. For subscripts like H₂O use the subscript generator.

Why do superscript letters look uneven?

They come from different Unicode blocks (phonetic letters, modifier letters), so fonts may draw them at slightly different heights.

Is it accessible?

Screen readers usually read superscript digits correctly (for example "squared" or "superscript two"), but letters may be announced as modifier letters.
