What is a superscript generator?
Superscript characters are scattered all over Unicode: ² and ³ sit in Latin-1 (they predate the web), the remaining digits live at U+2070, and most lowercase letters exist as modifier letters added for phonetics. A converter pulls them into one place, so x2 becomes x², 1st becomes 1ˢᵗ and m2 becomes m². Almost the full lowercase alphabet is covered; q is the famous holdout with no superscript form.
How to use the Superscript
- 1 Put an expression like x2 or 1st in the field.
- 2 Characters with superscript forms get raised.
- 3 Click Copy under the converted text.
- 4 Paste the exponent into your doc or post.
What you can use it for
- Writing exponents and powers in plain text.
- Adding ordinals such as 1ˢᵗ or 2ⁿᵈ.
- Marking footnotes or references in chat.
- Annotating units like m² in posts.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no superscript q?
The lowercase superscripts entered Unicode as modifier letters for phonetic transcription, and phonetics never needed a q. Proposals to complete the alphabet have been rejected, so q stays full-size in any honest converter.
Why do ² and ³ look different from ⁴?
They are older. ² (U+00B2) and ³ (U+00B3) come from Latin-1, while ⁰ and ⁴–⁹ live in the later U+2070 block, and some fonts size the two groups slightly differently.
Can I mix superscript with normal text?
Freely. These are standalone characters, so m², E=mc² or a 1ˢᵗ-place caption can sit inline in any sentence, no special field or editor required.
