Lower small characters for formulas and footnotes.

YOUR TEXT

Unicode has subscripts for digits and a short list of letters: a e h i j k l m n o p r s t u v x.

  • Subscript
    ₕ₂ₒ ₐₙd ₓ₂
  • Subscript digits only
    H₂O and x₂

How the Subscript Generator works

Unicode includes subscript digits, plus and minus signs, brackets and a limited set of letters. The tool converts those it knows and leaves the rest untouched. Digits are enough for chemical formulas such as H₂O and CO₂.

The digits only variant converts numbers and leaves letters alone, which suits formulas written in normal letters.

When it is useful

  • •Writing chemical formulas in plain text.
  • •Adding indices to variables in text based math.
  • •Typing footnote style marks.
  • •Creating small decorative text.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is subscript text a real font?

No. These are Unicode characters that happen to look like styled letters, so they paste into any app that accepts text, with no font installation. Because they are different characters from normal letters, search and screen readers may handle them differently.

Which letters have subscript forms?

a, e, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v and x. Others do not exist in Unicode.

Is this the same as HTML sub tags?

No. HTML tags change the display of text on web pages. These are separate characters that paste into plain text.
