What Is Superscript Unicode?
Superscript Unicode characters appear above the text baseline, positioned higher and smaller than regular text. They are part of the Unicode standard blocks "Superscripts and Subscripts" (U+2070 through U+207F) and "Phonetic Extensions" (U+1D00 through U+1D7F), which means they are real characters rather than formatting.
Unlike HTML <sup> tags which only work in web pages, Unicode superscript characters work everywhere: social media bios, plain text emails, messaging apps, code comments, and any application that supports UTF-8 encoding. The standard includes superscript versions of all digits and most lowercase letters, giving superscript better character coverage than subscript.
Common Uses for Superscript
- Mathematics: Write exponents and powers in plain text — x², 2³ = 8, a² + b² = c² (Pythagorean theorem).
- Footnotes and references: Add footnote markers without HTML — "See note¹" or "According to the study²."
- Ordinal numbers: Write ordinals in proper typographic form.
- Trademark and legal: Add trademark symbols and legal markers like ™ and ®.
- Social media: Create small raised text for decorative effect on Instagram bios, Discord messages, and Twitter posts.

<sup> tag to visually raise text on web pages, but the text is still regular characters with formatting applied.
