Small Text Generator – ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵗᵉˣᵗ, Superscript & Subscript Unicode
Convert your text to small caps, superscript, and subscript Unicode characters that work everywhere. Create ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵗᵉˣᵗ for social media bios, usernames, and creative posts without installing fonts.
What Is Small Text?
Small text uses special Unicode characters that appear smaller than regular letters. Unlike HTML subscript or CSS styling, these Unicode characters work anywhere plain text is accepted—including Instagram bios, Twitter posts, Discord usernames, and more.
Three Styles Available
| Style | Example | Unicode Type |
|---|---|---|
| Small Caps | ᴛᴇxᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜɪs | Latin Small Capitals |
| Superscript | ᵗᵉˣᵗ ˡⁱᵏᵉ ᵗʰⁱˢ | Modifier Letters |
| Subscript | ₜₑₓₜ ₗᵢₖₑ ₜₕᵢₛ | Subscript Letters |
How Small Text Works
These "small" characters aren't actually smaller—they're entirely different Unicode symbols that visually appear compact. The Unicode standard includes these for phonetic notation, mathematical formulas, and linguistic purposes, but creative users have adopted them for aesthetic text styling.

Each regular letter maps to its Unicode equivalent:

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't all letters convert?
Not every letter has a Unicode small caps, superscript, or subscript equivalent. Missing characters stay as regular letters. This is a Unicode limitation, not a tool bug.
Are numbers supported?
Yes! Superscript supports 0-9 (⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹) and subscript supports 0-9 (₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉). Small caps don't have number variants.
Will this work on all devices?
Most modern devices and browsers support these Unicode characters. Very old systems or specialty fonts may show boxes or question marks instead.
Is this different from HTML subscript tags?
Yes. HTML <sub> and <sup> tags only work in web pages. Unicode subscript/superscript characters work in plain text anywhere.
Can I use special characters?
Most punctuation and special characters don't have small variants and will remain unchanged.
Does it affect searchability?
Text using special Unicode characters may not be found by search. Use standard text for important keywords you want discoverable.
Technical Details
Small text utilizes these Unicode blocks:
- Latin Extended-D (Small Capitals)
- Spacing Modifier Letters (Superscript)
- Latin Subscript Letters
- Superscripts and Subscripts Block (Numbers)
These are real Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, not font tricks or images.
Pro Tips
- Mix styles sparingly — Too much stylized text becomes hard to read
- Test before posting — Preview on your target platform first
