Characters with no superscript are copied and named. The page does not invent a tiny C or a tiny Q.
How to use
- Type the formula or the word.
- Choose digits only, or letters and digits.
- Press Raise. Copy the Raised line. Reset restores H2O in digits-only mode.
Formula / how it works
Digits only. The mode looks at 0–9 and leaves every other character where it is. H2O becomes H²O. The “No superscript form” line stays “none”, because the letters were not candidates. That is the mode for exponents, footnote-style numbers and a chemical-looking formula when you do not have a real equation editor. It is not a chemistry checker. H²O is three characters in a row, not a typeset formula with a proper subscript on a different atom. Oxygen’s number in water is usually a subscript. This page does not lower characters. The small text generator raises the whole string and also prints small caps, which is the wrong tool when the letters must stay full size.
Letters and digits. The other mode maps a–z, the capitals that exist, the digits, and a few signs: plus, minus, equals and parentheses. “note” becomes a fully raised word. Capitals without a superscript — C, F, Q, S, X, Y and Z — stay themselves and appear on the missing line. Lower-case q uses the modifier small q, which is the closest raised q Unicode defines. If that glyph looks like a different q in your font, the missing line is still empty, because a mapping existed.
Why names are listed. A super script tool that dropped missing letters would turn “SIZE” into a shorter string and hide the loss. Listing them lets you switch to digits-only, retype, or accept the mixed line. The Raised line is what you copy. The mode line is there so a pasted result still says whether letters were supposed to move.
Not a layout engine. Superscript in a word processor is the same character lifted by the font. This is a different character. A screen reader may say “superscript two” or spell the letter. In a web page you control, prefer the HTML sup element or MathML so the underlying text stays the plain characters. Use this generator when the destination is a chat, a caption or a form that stores one string.
Limits. 280 characters. One line. No fractions stacked over a bar, no limits of integration, no alignment. For those, use an equation editor. The conversion runs in the browser.
Signs. Plus, minus, equals and parentheses have superscripts, and letters-and-digits mode will raise them. Digits-only mode leaves the signs alone, which is what you want in H2O and the wrong choice if the whole expression “(n+1)” should sit up in the air. Switch mode rather than editing the raised line by hand.
Worked examples
Only the digit in H2O
Inputs: Text: H2O | Mode: digits
Type H2O and set the mode to digits. The 2 rises and the letters stay on the baseline, so the missing list stays empty.
Result: Mode: digits
Raised: H²O
No superscript form: none
This is not a subscript. The 2 is above the baseline.
A whole word raised
Inputs: Text: note | Mode: all
Type note and set the mode to all. Every letter has a superscript, so the missing list says none.
Result: Mode: all
Raised: ⁿᵒᵗᵉ
No superscript form: none
Use cases
- Writing x² or H²O in a chat that has no superscript button.
- Raising a whole short label when every letter has a form.
- Seeing which capitals cannot be raised before you design a title around them.
- Checking that digits-only mode does not disturb the letters.
Tips & limitations
- Use digits only for formulas. Use all only when the whole word should rise.
- Read the missing list when the word contains C, F, Q, S, X, Y or Z.
- Prefer the HTML sup element on a site you control.
- Do not expect a real subscript. This page only raises.
FAQ
Why is H2O not H₂O?
The 2 in water is conventionally a subscript. This page only has superscripts, so digits-only mode produces H²O, with the 2 raised.
Which capitals cannot be raised?
C, F, Q, S, X, Y and Z have no superscript in this map. They stay as typed and are named on the missing line.
What does super script mean here?
The same substitution: Unicode characters that are drawn smaller and higher, not a font feature called superscript.
Does digits-only mode mark letters as missing?
No. Letters are copied on purpose in that mode. The missing line lists only characters the mode tried to raise and could not.
Can I raise an emoji?
No. It is copied, and in letters-and-digits mode it is named as having no superscript.
Is the formula uploaded?
No. The substitution runs in the browser.
