About this tool
Tiny text is made from superscript and subscript characters, the small raised and lowered forms Unicode provides for footnotes, exponents and chemical formulas. Superscripts exist for nearly every lowercase letter and the digits 0 to 9. Subscripts exist for only a handful of letters plus digits.
Coverage is uneven, and the tool reflects that honestly. Superscript has no true letter q, so q stays normal. Capital superscripts exist for only some letters, so the first result uses them where available and falls back to lowercase superscripts for the rest. The second result uses lowercase superscripts for every letter. Subscript converts only a, e, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v, x and digits; other letters stay normal.
How to use the tiny text generator
- Type a short word or number.
- Compare the superscript results. Use lowercase only for the most uniform look.
- Try subscript if you need lowered letters or digits, for example chemical formulas.
- Copy and paste it, then check that every character shows correctly.
Examples
| Style | Result for “Hello World” |
|---|---|
| Superscript | ᴴᵉˡˡᵒ ᵂᵒʳˡᵈ |
| Superscript (lowercase only) | ʰᵉˡˡᵒ ʷᵒʳˡᵈ |
| Subscript | ₕₑₗₗₒ Wₒᵣₗd |
Good uses
- Footnote markers and exponents such as x².
- Tiny tags or credits under a caption.
- Chemical formula text like H₂O.
- Small decorative labels.
Compatibility and limits
Small characters are rendered very small, so they can be hard to read, particularly on phones. Subscript letters especially are patchy: if one character in a word has no subscript form, it stays normal size, which looks uneven. Use short words only.
Text made with Unicode characters can be hard for screen readers to read and may not match searches for the original words. Keep names, links and important details in plain text.
Frequently asked questions
Why is part of my subscript text full size?
Unicode has subscript forms for only some letters. The rest are left as normal letters.
Can I use tiny text for a whole sentence?
It is difficult to read, especially on small screens. Use it for short labels, not paragraphs.
How is it different from small text?
Small text uses small capitals at lowercase height. Tiny text uses superscript and subscript characters that sit above or below the line.
