These are Unicode symbols, not fonts. Some apps and older phones show them as boxes, and screen readers may read them letter by letter or skip them, so keep names, important details and hashtags in plain text. Why, and what to do instead.
For maths, science and notes
Superscript is useful anywhere you can't use formatting: exponents like x² or 10⁻⁶, units like m³, ordinals like 1ˢᵗ and footnote markers¹. The digits and the signs ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ come from Unicode's Superscripts and Subscripts block (¹ ² ³ are older, in Latin-1). The letters are "modifier letters" from the Spacing Modifier Letters and Phonetic Extensions blocks, made for phonetic transcription.
Letters with no superscript
Every lowercase letter has a superscript form except q, which stays as typed. Capital letters are patchier: Unicode has superscript ᴬ ᴮ ᴰ ᴱ ᴳ ᴴ ᴵ ᴶ ᴷ ᴸ ᴹ ᴺ ᴼ ᴾ ᴿ ᵀ ᵁ ⱽ ᵂ, but no C, F, Q, S, X, Y or Z, so those use the lowercase superscript instead (ᶜ ᶠ ˢ ˣ ʸ ᶻ) and Q stays full size.
Accessibility and accuracy
Screen readers read ² as "superscript two" in many cases, which is fine for maths, but they read letters as "modifier letter small t" or skip them. In documents that support it, real formatting (Word's superscript button, HTML <sup>) is better for both readers and search. See the accessibility guide.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type x squared?
Type x2 into the box and copy the Superscript style, then delete the extra x if you only need ². Or copy ² directly: ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹.
Is there a superscript q?
Not in widely supported fonts. A modifier small q was added to Unicode in 2021, but most devices cannot show it yet, so we leave q unchanged.
Can I use superscript for footnotes?
Yes, superscript digits work well as footnote markers in plain text.
