Superscript Generator

For a caption, Superscript changes nearly everything: 60 of the 62 keys. The two it leaves alone are the capital Q and the small q.

Type in the box and each row follows your text. Copy puts a row on your clipboard and the button reads Copied. If copying is refused it reads Selected, and the text stays selected to copy by hand.

Most Superscript letters are named MODIFIER LETTER

Nothing on this page is the superscript setting of a font. The results are Unicode characters in their own right, and most of the letters are named MODIFIER LETTER: a typed A becomes U+1D2C, MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL A. The word SUPERSCRIPT itself appears in twelve names, those of the ten digits and of the small letters i and n.

Six blocks are involved, and Phonetic Extensions alone accounts for 30 of the 60 keys.

G to N is the longest Superscript run

Eight capitals in a row is as long as a run gets here: G to N, U+1D33 to U+1D3A. Altogether the 25 capitals make 16 runs and the 25 small letters make 23. The digits make four: 0 alone, 1 alone, 2 with 3, and 4 to 9 at U+2074 to U+2079.

1, 2 and 3 are apart from the other Superscript digits

Seven digits are in the Superscripts and Subscripts block: 0 at U+2070, and 4 to 9. The digits 1, 2 and 3 are in Latin-1 Supplement, as U+00B9, U+00B2 and U+00B3. The places 2 and 3 would have had beside the others, U+2072 and U+2073, are unassigned.

Seven capitals are exceptions as well. Six of them take a character named MODIFIER LETTER SMALL, and V is the only key in its block.

Six letters with one Superscript character for both cases

C, F, S, X, Y and Z each have a single character that serves the capital key and the small key. Typed C and typed c both give MODIFIER LETTER SMALL C, and the other five pairs go the same way.

Q is the one letter Superscript leaves as typed

Two keys are not changed: Q and q.

Subscript is a different style

Subscript is not among the rows of this page. It is kept on a page to itself.
