Superscript Generator

Type exponents and footnote marks that stay raised when you paste them into a chat, a spreadsheet cell, a social post or a plain-text email: x², m³, 10⁻⁶, ᵀᴹ. Write exponents with a caret (x^2, 10^-3, a^(n+1)) and only those parts are raised, or convert the whole text. The same result is also given as HTML <sup> and LaTeX for documents and web pages.

How to use this tool

1. Type your text, using ^ before each exponent: x^2, 2^{10}, e^(i·x).
2. Keep “only what follows ^”, or convert all of the text.
3. Choose Unicode characters for pasting anywhere, or HTML or LaTeX for documents.
4. Copy the result; characters with no superscript form are listed under it.

Formula

x^2 → x² · after ^, a number (with an optional sign), a run of letters, or anything in {…} or (…) is raised

The digits ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ and the signs ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ come from Unicode’s superscript characters (¹ ² ³ are in Latin-1, the rest at U+2070–U+207E). Letters use modifier letters such as ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ. Widely supported superscript capitals exist for A B D E G H I J K L M N O P R T U V W; C, F and Q were added in Unicode 14 but most fonts lack them, and S X Y Z have none, so C F S X Y Z use the small form. In caret mode the LaTeX version uses math-mode exponents (^{…}) for use inside $…$; for all text it uses \textsuperscript{…}, which works in running text.

Example

The sample “E = mc^2, area in m^2 and 10^-3 s” becomes E = mc², area in m² and 10⁻³ s. As HTML it is E = mc², area in m² and 10^-3 s, and as LaTeX for a formula E = mc^{2}, area in m^{2} and 10^{-3} s.
