Tiny Unicode Letters

What Are Tiny Unicode Letters?

This page is the complete reference for tiny unicode letters: every superscript, subscript, and small-caps character defined by the Unicode standard, with its exact code point. You can copy-paste tiny letters straight from the tables below, or type a phrase in the generator above and copy the whole converted row — ready for any bio, chat, or document.

These characters come from practical corners of typography: the International Phonetic Alphabet for superscripts, chemical notation for subscripts, and classic book design for small capitals. Because they are part of Unicode, they travel as plain text and paste into almost any app on earth.

Below is the complete reference: every letter and symbol in all three alphabets, with its Unicode code point, the letters that are missing, and honest notes about how each one renders. If you would rather convert whole words than copy single letters, use the converter at the top of this page or the small text generator on the homepage.

The Three Tiny Alphabets at a Glance

Small Caps Letters (A–Z)

Capital-shaped letters at x-height, ideal for headings and names. The table lists each letter, its tiny glyph (a dash means no tiny version exists), and the Unicode code point of that glyph. Pairs of letters share a row to keep the list compact.

Superscript Letters (A–Z)

Raised letters and digits for exponents, footnotes, and math. The table lists each letter, its tiny glyph (a dash means no tiny version exists), and the Unicode code point of that glyph. Pairs of letters share a row to keep the list compact.

Superscript Digits and Symbols

Subscript Letters (A–Z)

Lowered letters and digits for chemistry formulas and indices. The table lists each letter, its tiny glyph (a dash means no tiny version exists), and the Unicode code point of that glyph. Pairs of letters share a row to keep the list compact.

Why Are Some Tiny Letters Missing?

The short answer: Unicode only encodes characters that real writing systems need, and it refuses to invent look-alikes. The superscript alphabet grew out of the International Phonetic Alphabet, which has no raised q, so there is no superscript q. The subscript alphabet grew out of chemistry and math notation, which never needed lowered b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y, or z — so those are missing too. And typography never standardized a small capital X, which is why small caps text keeps x normal.

This is not a defect in any generator. Every converter on the internet faces the same gaps and handles them the same way: the letter stays as typed. If you see a page claiming to output "q" in superscript or a perfect small capital X, inspect closely — it is either using a fake glyph from a private-use area (which breaks on other devices) or just lying about the standard.

How to Copy and Combine Tiny Letters

Single letters are easy to grab straight from the tables above — click, copy, paste. For whole words and sentences, the converter is faster: type once and read all three alphabets at once. Because missing letters stay normal, long text converts without ever breaking, and you can mix alphabets in the same phrase, like "C₆ₕ₁₂ₒ₆ + 2ⁿᵈ ʜᴇʟʟᴏ" — a realistic mashup that shows how the families coexist.

Two practical tips. First, digits always convert in superscript and subscript, but never in small caps — Unicode has no small-cap numbers. Second, uppercase input converts to the tiny lowercase variant automatically (H becomes ₕ, not a capital), because none of these alphabets include capitals.

Where Tiny Letters Get Used

Usernames and gamertags. Discord, Twitch, and Minecraft accept Unicode in names, and small caps or superscripts make a handle look intentional. Instagram and X block most special characters in usernames, so keep tiny letters for bios and messages there.

Math and physics. Superscripts carry exponents (x², 10⁶, 2⁻²) and subscripts carry indices (aₙ, x₁, vₘₐₓ). In chats and quick notes, Unicode is the fastest way to write both.

Chemistry. Formula counts need subscripts: ₕ₂ₒ, Cₒ₂, Cₕ₄. The letters that exist lower nicely; the rest stay normal, and formulas remain readable.

Footnotes and ordinals. Raised markers like 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, and footnote numbers add structure to informal writing without any formatting tools.

Design and bios. Small caps give names, headings, and profile text an editorial look that all caps cannot match.

Tiny Letters vs Fonts: The One Idea That Matters

It bears repeating because it explains everything on this page: tiny letters are characters, not a font. A font is software that redraws existing letters; a tiny Unicode letter is a new letter altogether. That is why superscripts, subscripts, and small caps paste into Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord, and email with zero setup, and why they render on any device — the characters are built into the standard, not into your device.

It also explains the limits: if the standard has no glyph, no amount of copying fixes it. Choose your alphabet by what the platform and the message need, and when in doubt, start from the small text generator, which shows all three side by side.
