Example
E = mc2
ᴱ ⁼ ᵐᶜ²
Common uses
Exponents such as m² and 10⁶, footnote markers¹, ordinals like 1ˢᵗ, and ᵀᴹ marks in plain-text places like social bios and chat messages.
Missing letters
Unicode has no superscript q or Q, so those stay unchanged. A few capitals (C, F, S, X, Y, Z) have no raised capital form, so the raised lowercase letter is used.
Superscript in documents and code
In Word, select text and press Ctrl+Shift+= (Cmd+Shift+= on a Mac) for real superscript formatting. In Google Docs use Ctrl+. (Cmd+. on a Mac). In HTML, use the <sup> element. This generator is for places without formatting, like social posts, chat messages, spreadsheet cells, and file names.
Why the numbers may look uneven
¹, ², and ³ were added to computer character sets long before the others, so they live in a different part of Unicode from ⁴ to ⁹. Some fonts draw the two groups at slightly different heights or weights. It’s a font quirk, not a mistake in the text.
