Superscript Letters & Numbers
Every superscript letter and number in one list. Type below to convert your own text, or copy a single character straight from the table.
Superscript Alphabet A–Z
Unicode defines superscript forms for the full lowercase alphabet and all digits. Uppercase letters reuse the same raised glyphs. Click a character to select it. Need ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ without the alphabet? Use the focused Superscript Numbers list.

Superscript in Math & Writing
Beyond styling bios, superscripts are used for exponents (x², m³), ordinals (1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ) and footnote markers. Because the raised alphabet is complete, a short phrase can remain readable; subscript does not offer that same full letter coverage. To copy superscript numbers 0–9 or convert a number-only value, use the Superscript Numbers tool. For a number with its correct ordinal ending, use the Superscript Ordinal Generator. For fractions such as ½, ⅓, or 2³⁄₈, use the Unicode Fraction Generator. For chemistry formulas that sit below the line, see the subscript letters list or the full Unicode character chart.
Copy a Verified Raised Character
Manually hunting for each superscript glyph in a character map is slow and error-prone. The fast way is to type normally and let the generator convert every character it can. Paste your text, copy the converted result, and use it anywhere Unicode renders. For repeated phrases, keep a converted copy in your notes so you never reconvert the same line.
Ordinals and Footnotes
Ordinals are a perfect superscript use: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ read naturally and save space in tight fields like bios. Footnote markers (a raised ¹ or ²) keep references tidy without disrupting the line. Both rely only on widely supported characters, so they display reliably everywhere.
Compatibility
Superscript has the broadest support of any small-text style. Its character set is complete and long-established, so it renders on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and the web, and inside apps from Instagram to WhatsApp to Discord. A rare device may still show a box for an unusual character, but in practice superscript is the safest style for text meant for a wide audience.
Is there a superscript letter for every A–Z character?
Yes. Unlike subscript, superscript defines a raised form for the full alphabet a–z and all digits 0–9, so whole words convert and remain readable.
How do I type a superscript 2 or 3?
Type "2" or "3" into the superscript generator (or the main converter) and it returns ² or ³. Digits are fully covered, so number conversion is always exact.
Do superscript letters work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both platforms render Unicode superscript letters in browsers, messaging apps and social clients. The characters are part of the text, so they travel with it across devices.
Raised Unicode Letters Are a Display Convention
The table is a copy-and-paste reference, not a replacement for semantic typesetting. The site maps uppercase input to the available raised forms, which are visually based on the lowercase alphabet; that is useful for a short label but may not preserve the capitalization distinction that matters in a scientific symbol, abbreviation, or proper name. Punctuation also has much more limited coverage than letters and digits.
For an exponent or an English ordinal, a short raised suffix is generally clear. For equations, citations, and documents that need robust accessibility, use the destination editor's formatting or equation features and keep ordinary text available. The Ordinal Generator applies the English `st` / `nd` / `rd` / `th` rule before creating a suffix, so it is more precise than styling an arbitrary number by hand.
