# Superscript Generator > Turn numbers and letters into small raised characters like x², 10⁶ and 1ˢᵗ that you can copy and paste where there is no superscript button. - Page: https://linguaholic.com/tools/superscript-generator/ - Type: free online tool (Fancy text generators), no sign-up, runs in the browser - Publisher: Linguaholic (https://linguaholic.com/), made by Marcel Iseli - Last updated: October 2, 2026 - Open it pre-filled: https://linguaholic.com/tools/superscript-generator/?text=E+%3D+mc2 - `text`: text to convert; type an exponent the normal way (x2, E = mc2) and the first row raises only the digits (x², E = mc²) (for example `E = mc2`) ## What is a superscript generator? A **superscript generator** turns the characters you type into small raised ones, like the ² in x² or the ˢᵗ in 1ˢᵗ. The result is superscript text made of real Unicode characters, not formatting, so you can copy and paste it into places that have no superscript button: an Instagram bio, a Discord message, a form field, a file name. ## How to use it 1. Type your text the normal way, for example x2 or 10 m2. 2. For exponents, use the first row, **Numbers only (exponents)**. It raises the digits and leaves everything else alone, so x2 becomes x² and E = mc2 becomes E = mc². 3. Tap the row, or its **Copy** button, and paste the result where you need it. The second row, **Tiny (Superscript)**, raises everything you give it. The sample `E = mc2 and x2 + y2` comes out as ᵉ ⁼ ᵐᶜ² ᵃⁿᵈ ˣ² ⁺ ʸ² there, with every character raised. That is right for tiny text and wrong for a formula, where only the exponent should be small. Two more rows sit underneath. **Small Caps** gives small capitals that stay on the line (numbers and signs are left alone), and **Subscript** gives the lowered version of whatever you typed. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I type the squared symbol on a phone?** The quickest way is to copy ² from this page and paste it. If you use it often, save it as a text shortcut in your phone's keyboard settings so that typing a short code inserts it. **Why is there no superscript q?** The raised letters were added to Unicode a few at a time for phonetic notation, not as a complete alphabet, and no raised q is widely supported by the fonts on phones and computers. The tool leaves q at normal size so it never turns into an empty box. **Can I make superscript capital letters?** Not with this tool. Unicode has raised forms for only some capital letters, so capitals are converted to the lowercase superscript set. Typing TM gives ᵗᵐ. If you need raised capitals, use the superscript formatting in Word or Google Docs. **Is superscript text the same as tiny text?** Yes. What tiny text generators produce is the superscript letters used for whole words, such as ᵗⁱⁿʸ ᵗᵉˣᵗ. They sit above the line and are smaller than normal letters. **Will a spreadsheet calculate with superscript numbers?** No. A superscript digit is a text character, so 5² in a cell is treated as text, not as 25. Use the caret for calculations, as in =5^2, and keep superscript characters for labels and headings. **What is the difference between superscript and subscript?** Superscript sits above the line, as in x² or 10⁶, and is used for exponents, footnote markers and ordinals. Subscript sits below the line, as in H₂O, and is used for chemical formulas and numbered variables. **Can I use superscript in an Instagram bio or username?** In the bio and the name field, yes. The @username only accepts plain letters, numbers, underscores and periods, so superscript characters are rejected there. **How do I write 1st, 2nd or 3rd with raised letters?** Type only the letters (st, nd, rd or th), copy the superscript result and paste it after the number: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ. If you type the number as well, it is raised too. ## Related tools - [Fancy Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/fancy-text-generator/): Type once and copy your text in 55 fancy styles, from cursive and gothic to bubble letters and small caps, for Instagram, Discord, TikTok and X names and bios. - [Bold Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bold-text-generator/): Turn your text into bold letters and numbers you can copy and paste into Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and X, in eight bold styles from sans-serif to gothic. - [Cursive Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/cursive-text-generator/): Type your text and copy it in thin or bold cursive script, plain or decorated, ready to paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Small Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/small-text-generator/): Turn your text into small caps, tiny raised letters, or tiny lowered letters, then copy and paste it into bios, display names, and messages. - [Bubble Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/bubble-text-generator/): Turn your text into circled (bubble) and squared letters that you can copy and paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and bios. - [Glitch Text Generator](https://linguaholic.com/tools/glitch-text-generator/): Make glitchy, corrupted-looking text in six styles, or set your own strength and direction, then copy and paste it into names, titles, bios and chats.
