What is superscript text?
Superscript characters sit slightly above the normal text line. People use them every day for mathematical powers like $x^2$ or $y^3$, footnote numbers in school papers, and ordinal markers like 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, and 3ʳᵈ. They also appear in registered marks like ™.
This tool turns standard keyboard typing into real Unicode characters. Because these glyphs are international symbols rather than temporary document styles, they do not disappear when you copy them into apps without bold or italic menus. They stay small and raised in Instagram bios, TikTok captions, Discord chats, and WhatsApp messages.
Which letters and numbers have a superscript version?
The Unicode standard has full support for all ten digits:
⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹
It also includes mathematical plus (⁺), minus (⁻), equals (⁼), and parentheses (⁽ ⁾).
Most lowercase letters have raised Unicode symbols:
ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ ᵈ ᵉ ᶠ ᵍ ʰ ⁱ ʲ ᵏ ˡ ᵐ ⁿ ᵒ ᵖ ʳ ˢ ᵗ ᵘ ᵛ ʷ ˣ ʸ ᶻ
The one notable exception is lowercase q. Unicode never defined an official modifier small q. If your word contains q, our tool passes it through cleanly so your readers can still understand the word.

How to type superscript in Word, Google Docs, and on phones
You can create raised text using native tools or Unicode symbols:
- Microsoft Word: Highlight your text and press
Ctrl+Shift++on Windows, orCmd+Shift++on Mac [VERIFY: Word shortcut]. - Google Docs: Select your letters and press
Ctrl+.on Windows, orCmd+.on Mac [VERIFY: Docs shortcut]. - Mobile Phones: Most default phone keyboards do not include raised letter buttons. The easiest way is to copy the symbols from this page and paste them into your app.
Which should you pick? For school papers and work reports inside office software, use native menus. That keeps your document tidy and easy for screen readers to announce. For social platforms and gaming names with no formatting bar, use our Unicode generator.
Will superscript text work on all devices?
Unicode raised numbers display clearly across modern phones, tablets, and computers. Modern versions of iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows include these symbols in their core system fonts.
A few older devices or command-line screens may not show rare raised letters, showing a small empty box instead. If that happens, stick to basic numbers or plain text.
Screen readers may read superscript text differently depending on user settings. Some speak the numbers as ordinal values, while others read them as standard digits. When writing medical guides, dosage instructions, or legal alerts, always write out the full meaning in plain words so every visitor stays informed.
