What is Small Text?

The Small Text Generator is a fun and easy-to-use tool that helps you convert your normal text into cool, eye-catching formats using special Unicode characters. Whether you want to make your social media posts stand out, surprise your friends in chats, or create creative captions, this tool has everything you need.

You might think you're looking for small text fonts, but you're actually looking for small text symbols (or characters). People just assume it must be a font because they look different to normal characters - but so do emojis! And they're not a font - they're also characters in the Unicode standard.

That's pretty cool, because it means you can copy and paste the small text that this site generates into your Instagram bio, Twitter posts, Discord messages, Facebook updates, and just about anywhere else!

Understanding Unicode & Small Text

So how is this copy and paste stuff possible? Well, to answer that question, we need to learn a little bit about Unicode.

Unicode is an international not-for-profit organisation that started in the 1980s as an effort to "unify" the "codes" for textual characters used in the computing industry. Computers only understand numbers, so you need to tell the computer which number refers to the letter "a", which one refers to the letter "b", etc.

Unicode's full character set exploded to include tens of thousands of different symbols, for many languages, and many specialized systems. Along the way, it picked up a set of symbols which can be used to emulate small caps (an alphabet of small capital letters), and a somewhat incomplete set of subscript and superscript characters.

So the small text letters that you see in the output box above are just a few of the 130,000+ symbols that are specified in the Unicode standard - just like the symbols you're reading right now!

Small Caps: A Typographical History

Small caps (ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘꜱ) have a long typographical history. For the past several hundred years, they have been used in the print medium to create aesthetic distinction or as a substitute for a long string of capital letters which may appear jarring to the reader (e.g. for long acronyms).

The small caps Unicode alphabet is probably the most "complete" of the small text character sets. While a few letters like Q, X and S aren't quite perfect, they're still very usable.

Superscript Text (ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ)

A small number of superscript characters were introduced to Unicode for general usage in math, phonetics, and related fields. It's useful for professionals to write their equations and communications in situations where no markup language like HTML is available (e.g. in messaging systems).

Originally, only 3 superscript characters were included in Unicode: ¹²³. These were followed by the rest of the numerals, and some superscript symbols useful for math: ⁺⁻⁼⁽⁾ⁿ. Following those, we got most of the Latin alphabet except "q".

Full superscript alphabet:
ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰᶦʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖᵠʳˢᵗᵘᵛʷˣʸᶻ

Superscript numbers: ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹

Subscript Text (ₛᵤᵦₛ𝒸ᵣᵢₚₜ)

The introduction of subscript characters into Unicode followed a similar path to superscript characters. However, since they aren't used as often across all industries, we're quite a few characters short of a full alphabet.

Subscript text is perfect for chemical formulas (H₂O, CO₂), mathematical notation, and scientific writing. While not all letters are available in subscript form, the most commonly used ones are supported.

Available subscript characters:
ₐₑₕᵢⱼₖₗₘₙₒₚᵣₛₜᵤᵥₓ

Subscript numbers: ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉
