Raised miniature letters and numbers
Superscript Generator
This superscript generator raises your text into small Unicode characters set above the baseline — the ˣ ⁿ and ⁰¹² style — ready to copy and paste into a caption, formula, footnote, or display name. Each character is a real Unicode superscript glyph, so the output stays selectable text and needs no equation editor or installed font.
It handles exponents and powers (x², 10⁶), ordinal endings (1ˢᵗ, nᵗʰ), and footnote markers. Unicode's superscript coverage is complete for digits and strong for lowercase letters; where a raised form doesn't exist the tool leaves the letter untouched rather than guessing. If you need characters set *below* the line instead, use the subscript generator — and subscript vs superscript explains which way to go.

Copy the superscript output with one tap.
Paste it directly where it belongs — for example paste ² right after ‘x’ to get x², or ⁿᵈ after ‘2’ for 2ⁿᵈ.

Maths & science notes
Exponents and powers (E = mc², 2¹⁰) shared in chat, slides, or notebooks where a real superscript style isn't available.
Ordinals & footnotes
1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ and small raised footnote markers in captions and posts.
Discord & gaming names
Raised mini-text in display names and stat call-outs, same as any other styled Unicode text.
Chemistry & trademarks
Ionic charges (Na⁺, Cl⁻) alongside the subscript numbers in a formula, plus ™ and ® marks in a bio or listing — see the subscript generator for the half of a formula that sits below the line.
Type it natively instead.
Microsoft Word
Select the text, then press Ctrl+Shift+= (Windows) or ⌘+Shift+= (Mac).
Google Docs
Select the text, then press Ctrl+. (Windows) or ⌘+. (Mac).
Excel
Double-click into the cell, select the characters, open Format Cells → Font, and check Superscript — there's no default keyboard shortcut.
PowerPoint
Same shortcut as Word — Ctrl+Shift+= — since it shares Office's formatting engine.
HTML
Wrap the characters in a <sup> tag — for example x<sup>2</sup>.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01How do I get superscript to copy and paste?+
Type into the generator above, copy the superscript result, and paste it wherever you need it. The raised look is built from Unicode superscript characters, so it survives copy-paste like normal text.
02Can I make exponents and powers with this?+
Yes — every digit 0–9 has a Unicode superscript form, so x², 10⁶, and cm³ all convert exactly. Type the exponent on its own and paste it right after the base.
03Why aren't all letters converting to superscript?+
Unicode defines raised forms for all digits and most lowercase letters but only some capitals. Unsupported characters are left as-is so the text stays readable rather than mixing in misleading symbols.
04Does superscript work in Word, Google Docs, and Discord?+
Pasted superscript displays correctly in all three. For documents you'll heavily edit afterwards, the app's own superscript formatting is more robust because it's a text style rather than a substituted character.
05What's the difference between superscript and subscript?+
Superscript sits above the baseline (x², 1ˢᵗ); subscript sits below it (H₂O, xₙ). They use separate Unicode blocks — see the subscript vs superscript guide.
06Does this work for chemical or ionic notation like Na⁺ and Cl⁻?+
Yes — charge symbols and ion notation use the same Unicode superscript characters as exponents. For the subscript numbers in a formula (H₂O, CO₂), use the subscript generator instead; most formulas need both tools together.
07Can I add a trademark or copyright symbol this way?+
™ and © aren't superscript characters technically, but people commonly raise a small ™ or ® next to a brand name using this same generator — type the letters, copy the result, and place it right after the name.
08How do I type superscript directly in Word or Google Docs instead?+
Word: select the text and press Ctrl+Shift+= (Windows) or ⌘+Shift+= (Mac). Google Docs: select the text and press Ctrl+. or ⌘+. Both apply a real superscript text style rather than swapping characters, which holds up better through later edits.
09Why do 'i' and 'q' never convert, specifically?+
Unicode never assigned superscript code points for lowercase i or q — every other lowercase letter has one, but those two don't exist in any font. The generator leaves them as regular letters rather than faking a lookalike. See the full character reference for what does convert.
10Is there a superscript shortcut for Excel or PowerPoint?+
PowerPoint uses the same shortcut as Word (Ctrl+Shift+=). Excel has no default keyboard shortcut — select the characters inside the cell, open Format Cells → Font, and check Superscript.
