Where small caps characters come from
Unicode has no dedicated small caps alphabet. These letters are borrowed from phonetic notation: most come from the IPA Extensions (ʀ, ɢ, ʜ) and Phonetic Extensions (ᴀ, ᴅ, ᴇ) blocks, with ꜰ and ꜱ from Latin Extended-D. Because they were designed for linguists, a few letters are missing.
- There is no small capital X, so x stays the same.
- Q uses ǫ (q with ogonek), the closest widely available lookalike.
- “Small Caps” keeps your capital letters as full capitals, like traditional typography. “All Small Caps” turns every letter into a small capital.
Superscript and subscript tiny text
Superscript letters (ᵗⁱⁿʸ) are modifier letters used in phonetics. Nearly the whole alphabet exists, except a widely supported superscript q. Subscript is much more limited: Unicode only provides subscript forms for a, e, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v and x, plus digits and a few math signs. Letters without a subscript form are left unchanged.
Superscript and subscript numbers (x², H₂O) are well supported almost everywhere and are useful beyond decoration, for units, footnotes and simple formulas.
Display and accessibility
- Small caps characters are in many common fonts, so they display on more devices than most decorative styles.
- Superscript letters can sit at slightly different heights because they come from several Unicode blocks.
- Screen readers may announce each letter by its phonetic name, such as “latin letter small capital A”.

Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't the letter x change in small caps?
Unicode does not include a small capital X, so the generator leaves it as a regular lowercase x, which looks close at most sizes.
What is the difference between small caps and superscript?
Small caps are capital-shaped letters at roughly lowercase height and sit on the baseline. Superscript letters are smaller still and raised above the baseline, like an exponent.
Why are some letters missing from subscript?
Unicode only encodes subscript versions of certain letters that are used in phonetics and science. Letters such as b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y and z have no subscript form, so they stay normal.
Is small caps text easier to read than other styles?
It is generally more legible than script or gothic styles because the letter shapes are simple. It still may not be read correctly by screen readers, so avoid it for essential information.
