Superscript Generator
Turn plain letters, digits and equation signs into raised Unicode superscript (ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ ¹²³) ready to copy and paste.

ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ ¹²³
This superscript generator maps plain typing onto real raised Unicode characters: 26 letters (ᵃ to ᶻ), all ten digits (⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹), and five equation symbols (⁺⁻⁼⁽⁾). Because the elevation lives inside the character codes rather than HTML <sup> tags or word-processor formatting, your raised text stays raised inside Instagram bios, Discord display names, X posts, YouTube comments and spreadsheet cells. Need chemical or math indices below the baseline? Try our subscript generator, or switch to our full small text generator for small caps, bold and script.
How to Use the Superscript Generator
Four quick steps to turn ordinary words and exponents into raised characters, along with the Unicode quirks worth knowing.
- 1
Enter words, exponents or formulas
Type directly into the input area above; focusing the field highlights the starter sample so your first keystroke replaces it. Digits 0 through 9 and the five operators + - = ( ) all move above the baseline, whereas spaces, slashes, periods and currency signs stay at normal height — typing m/s2 produces ᵐ/ˢ².
- 2
Watch uppercase folding and the q stand-in
Unicode never standardized a complete A to Z capital superscript alphabet, so uppercase letters fold onto the matching lowercase modifier set: TM and tm both output ᵗᵐ. Standard Latin blocks also skipped a raised letter q, so ᑫ (U+146B from Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics) fills that slot and may appear slightly thicker in certain system fonts.

Copy the full line or tap one symbol from the chart
Press Copy beside the output card to place the entire converted string onto your clipboard, or scroll to the reference tables below and tap any single digit, operator or letter tile when you only need a lone squared mark or footnote number without disturbing your draft.
- 4
Preview multi-digit exponents where you paste
Unicode split superscript digits across two historical eras: ¹, ² and ³ come from the older Latin-1 Supplement block, while ⁰ and ⁴ through ⁹ live in Superscripts and Subscripts. Certain proportional fonts draw those two groups at slightly different heights, so glance at combinations like 10²⁴ in your target app before saving.
Unicode Superscript vs. HTML <sup> and Rich Text
Use real markup — HTML <sup>2</sup>, Markdown ^2^, or the superscript toggle in Docs and Word — whenever you write searchable articles, academic papers or pages read by assistive technology, because formatting keeps the underlying digit as a normal 2. Reach for Unicode superscript wherever formatting controls do not exist: social media bios, chat messages, video titles, spreadsheet headers and plain-text email subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get superscript numbers like ² and ³ on mobile or desktop?
Type any number into the converter above or tap a digit tile in the reference chart below to copy ⁰ through ⁹ in one click. Because they are standalone Unicode code points rather than keyboard shortcuts, they paste straight into iOS, Android, Windows and macOS apps without special key combos.
Why does superscript q look heavier than neighboring letters?
The Unicode Consortium encoded modifier letters for 25 lowercase Latin characters across phonetic blocks, leaving out q. Tools across the web substitute ᑫ (U+146B, a Canadian Syllabics glyph) because its shape matches a raised q, though devices often pull it from a secondary fallback font with a slightly heavier stroke.
Why do ¹ ² ³ sometimes align differently from ⁰ and ⁴-⁹?
Digits ¹, ² and ³ were inherited early from ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1 Supplement), whereas ⁰ and ⁴ through ⁹ were added later in the dedicated Superscripts and Subscripts block. Most modern UI fonts harmonize their baseline height, but a few serif or custom in-game typefaces still render the older trio slightly lower.
Can I generate capital superscript letters?
Unicode includes scattered modifier capitals such as ᴬ, ᴮ and ᴰ for phonetic transcription, yet lacks several letters — including C, F, Q, S, X, Y and Z — in standard cross-platform blocks. To avoid words breaking into mixed heights mid-spelling, this converter folds A through Z onto the complete lowercase raised set (ᵃ-ᶻ).
Which apps and profile fields accept Unicode superscript?
Free-text fields accept it almost everywhere: Instagram bios and captions, Discord display names and channel topics, X display names and posts, TikTok bios, YouTube titles and WhatsApp statuses. Unique login identifiers — such as @handles, Xbox gamertags and PlayStation online IDs — enforce strict ASCII rules and reject raised characters.
How do screen readers handle Unicode superscript characters?
Assistive tools vary: many read raised digits as isolated symbols or announce phonetic modifier letters one character at a time instead of speaking a smooth word or mathematical power. Keep critical prose and accessible web equations in semantic HTML <sup> markup, and reserve Unicode superscript for short decorative tags, nicknames and plain-text footnotes.
