The Superscript Generator converts plain characters into superscript text that sits above the baseline. Use this page when you need exponents, citation markers, footnotes, ordinal endings, or scientific notation. This tool is for raised characters, not for general font styling.
What superscript text is best for
- Exponents like x² or 10⁶
- Footnote and citation numbers
- Ordinal endings such as 1ˢᵗ or 2ⁿᵈ
- Isotope and notation-style labels
- Short markers in tables, charts, and slides
Superscript examples
| Input | Superscript output | Common use |

| 10-6 | ¹⁰⁻⁶ | Scientific notation |
| ref 12 | ʳᵉᶠ ¹² | Citation markers |
| 1st place | ¹ˢᵗ ᵖˡᵃᶜᵉ | Ordinal styling |
Copy-ready superscript numbers
For quick references, the supported superscript number set is
⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹. You can copy a single character directly, but use the
generator above when you need a short mixed label such as ref 12, x2, or
10-6. It will preserve any characters that do not have a widely supported
superscript equivalent.

- Type the word, number, or short expression you want to raise.

FAQ
What is superscript text?
Superscript text is smaller text positioned above the normal line of text. It is commonly used for powers, references, notes, and scientific notation.
Can I use this superscript generator for citations and footnotes?
Yes. This page is well suited to citation numbers, note markers, and short scholarly references.
Why do some superscript letters look approximate?
Unicode does not include a perfect superscript version of every character. When that happens, the generator uses the closest widely supported alternative.
Is superscript good for long sentences?
Usually no. Superscript works best for short fragments, markers, and notation, not full paragraphs.
