Small Text Generator

4 styles. App compatibility: not tested yet. Screen readers may read styled letters one by one.

Small text comes in three Unicode sets: small caps (ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘꜱ), superscript (ˢᵘᵖᵉʳ) and subscript (ₛᵤᵦ). None of them covers every letter, so some letters stay normal size.

Subscript is the most limited: Unicode has no subscript b, c, d, f, g, q, w, y or z. Superscript has every letter except q, which exists only in a recent block that few phones display.

Subscript in WhatsApp

WhatsApp has no subscript or superscript formatting. Paste the characters from this page: numbers are the safest (H₂O, x²), letters only where Unicode has them.

Small caps

Small caps uses phonetic letters that look like small capitals. There is no small capital x, so x stays as it is, and q uses ǫ, the closest shape.

Questions

How do I write H2O with a small 2?

Type H2O above and copy the Subscript result: H₂O. Digits 0 to 9 all have subscript and superscript forms.

Why do some letters stay big?

Unicode never added small versions of those letters. The generator keeps the normal letter rather than putting in a different character.
