How it works
Small Caps maps letters to small-capital characters scattered across the IPA and Phonetic Extensions blocks. Superscript and Subscript use dedicated modifier-letter blocks — coverage for subscript letters is intentionally limited by the Unicode standard itself, so a few characters stay unchanged.
Where you can use it
- Understated Instagram captions
- Footnote-style asides in bios
- Compact usernames that stand out without being loud

Frequently asked questions
Why can't every letter become subscript?
Unicode only defines subscript glyphs for a limited set of letters (mostly used in scientific notation). Letters without a subscript glyph are left as-is rather than dropped.
What's the difference between Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript here?
Small Caps keeps every letter on the same baseline, just shrunk to capital height — good for a full sentence. Superscript sits slightly above the line (like a footnote marker or an exponent); Subscript sits slightly below it. All three are separate Unicode blocks, so pick based on where you want the emphasis to sit, not just how small you want it.
Can I use small text for a username?
Yes for Small Caps, since it's still full-height enough to read easily. Superscript and Subscript characters are much smaller and can be hard to read at username size — they work better inline in a longer caption or bio than as a whole display name.
