How does small text work?

The tool swaps mapped letters and digits for superscript modifier characters. They sit high in many fonts, but size, acceptance and display depend on the destination.

Why is the letter q not small?

There is no superscript q in the blocks that common fonts cover. Rather than substitute a different character that looks roughly right and reads wrong, the tool leaves q, and Q, as typed. Every other letter, the digits and the signs + - = ( ) have superscript forms: ²⁺²⁼⁴.

What is the difference between small text and small caps?

Small text is raised and tiny, ˡⁱᵏᵉ ᵗʰⁱˢ. Small caps keeps the text on the baseline and replaces every letter with a small capital, ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜɪꜱ, which reads more easily in a longer line. Both rows are on this page. Small caps has no form for x, which stays as typed, and no digits.

Do capitals stay capitals in small text?

Where Unicode has a superscript capital (A, B, D, E, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, V and W) the tool uses it. For C, F, S, X, Y and Z, which have none, it uses the lowercase superscript so the word stays small instead of jumping in height. Q, like q, stays as typed.

Is tiny text readable for everyone?

It is small by design, so it is harder to read on a phone, and screen readers often read the letters as modifier symbols or skip them. Use it for a flourish, not for anything someone has to read.

Can I paste this into a bio, display name or game?

Copy a row and test it in the destination’s draft field. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, WhatsApp and games have their own accepted-character, length and display rules, which may change. This tool prepares Unicode text; it does not integrate with those services or guarantee that a handle is accepted.

What happens to accents and non-Latin scripts?

Most styles map ASCII A–Z, a–z and selected digits. Precomposed é stays é in Bold; a decomposed e plus an accent styles the e and keeps its mark. Non-Latin letters usually pass through. Underline and strikethrough can add a mark to a whole grapheme, but there is no native bold or cursive alphabet for every language.

Small Text Generator

Make superscript small text from mapped letters and digits, then copy it to a destination that accepts those characters. Superscript appears first and small caps is the second row. Superscript q and Q stay as typed; small caps x and X stay as typed. This changes characters rather than adjusting font size, and it does not offer subscript text.

What each style is made of, and where it survives. These are characters, not a font file. Copy a row and check how the destination displays and accepts it. Three kinds:

Real letters: Unicode letters, display and acceptance depend on the app. Bold, Italic, Bold italic, Script, Bold script, Gothic, Outline, Sans bold, Monospace, Bubble, Square, Wide.Lookalikes: lookalike characters, a few letters have no form. Small caps, Small text, Upside down.Combining marks: combining marks, some apps strip them. Strikethrough, Underline.

Accuracy. Bold, italic, script, gothic, outline, monospace and bubble styles are real Unicode letters rather than font formatting; small caps, small text and upside-down use lookalike characters, and strikethrough and underline add combining marks. Display, acceptance, search and screen-reader pronunciation depend on the destination. Letters with no styled form are left as typed; most styles map only ASCII letters and selected digits.

The small text alphabet

Superscript modifier letters from Spacing Modifier Letters, Phonetic Extensions and Superscripts and Subscripts. Capitals with no modifier form borrow the lowercase; q and Q have no form and stay as typed.
