What is small text?

Small text, also known as superscript or tiny text, uses special Unicode characters that appear smaller and raised compared to regular text. These characters were originally designed for mathematical notation, phonetic transcription, and linguistic purposes, but have become popular for creative and decorative uses on social media and messaging platforms.

Unicode includes a set of superscript letters and numbers that can be copied and pasted anywhere that supports Unicode text. Unlike formatting options that may not work across platforms, these characters are actual Unicode symbols that display consistently everywhere.

Tool description

This small text converter transforms your normal text into tiny superscript characters using Unicode. Simply type or paste your text, and the tool instantly generates a miniature version that you can copy and use anywhere. The conversion works both ways—you can also convert small text back to normal text.

Examples

Input Output
Hello World ᴴᵉˡˡᵒ ᵂᵒʳˡᵈ
Small Text ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵀᵉˣᵗ
ABC 123 ᴬᴮᶜ ¹²³
(test) ⁽ᵗᵉˢᵗ⁾

Features

  • Instant conversion between normal and small superscript text
  • Supports uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Converts numbers to superscript equivalents
  • Handles common punctuation marks
  • Bidirectional conversion (small to normal and back)

Use cases

  • Social media profiles: Create unique usernames and bio text that stands out
  • Mathematical notation: Write simple exponents and superscript numbers
  • Creative messaging: Add visual variety to your messages and posts

How it works

The converter maps each standard ASCII character to its corresponding Unicode superscript equivalent. For example, the letter "a" becomes "ᵃ" (Unicode U+1D43). When converting back, the tool reverses this mapping to restore the original text.

Limitations

  • Some letters may appear slightly different across devices and fonts
  • Not all Unicode superscript characters exist for every letter (Q has limited support)
  • Some platforms may not render all superscript characters correctly
  • Spaces remain as regular spaces since there's no superscript space character
