Superscript and Subscript Generator

All digits (0-9) and most lowercase letters have Unicode superscript versions. Some uppercase letters and special characters don't have standardized superscript forms. Digits have the most complete and consistent coverage.

Unicode included more superscript characters because of their frequent use in mathematics and footnotes. Subscript is primarily used for chemical formulas and indices, which mainly need letters and numbers. The standard simply has fewer subscript characters defined.

You can write simple equations with exponents and basic subscripts. Complex mathematical notation with fractions, integrals, or Greek letters requires LaTeX or specialized equation editors. Unicode super/subscript is best for simple expressions.

Yes, Unicode superscript and subscript characters display correctly in Excel, Word, and most applications. However, these programs also have built-in super/subscript formatting which may be preferable for consistent appearance with other formatted text.

Visually, superscript numbers look like exponents, but they're just display characters, not mathematical operators. For actual calculations, use your programming language's exponent operators (** or ^). The Unicode characters are for display only.
