Meaning & usage

Superscripts float above the baseline: powers in maths (2¹⁰), ordinal and footnote markers, trademark-style abbreviations and the raised letters of phonetic transcription. When an app gives you no formatting — a bio, a chat, a username — the only way to raise a character is to use a real superscript Unicode character, and this page collects the complete set: all ten digits (note that ¹ ² ³ are older Latin-1 characters while ⁰ and ⁴–⁹ live in the superscripts block), the signs ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾, and the modifier letters ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ ᵈ ᵉ ᶠ ᵍ ʰ ⁱ ʲ ᵏ ᵐ and friends.

The hero character ⁿ is the classic 'to the power of n'. Coverage is not total — there is no superscript q, for example — and where a letter is missing, true formatting beats a fake lookalike.

How to type the superscript

Windows

There is no Alt code or direct key for ⁿ. In Microsoft Word, type 207F and press Alt+X to convert it. Everywhere else, click the Copy button at the top of this page and paste it (Ctrl+V) — that always works.

Mac

There is no Option-key shortcut for ⁿ on a Mac. Open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space, search for "Superscript", and double-click to insert — or copy it from this page.

iPhone & Android

Most phone keyboards have no built-in key for ⁿ. Open this page on your phone, tap Copy, then paste it into your message or bio. (On Android, Gboard's emoji search finds some symbols by name.)

Linux

Press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 207f and press Enter (works in most GTK apps and terminals with IBus). Or copy it from this page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type superscripts on a keyboard?

There are no keys for them. Copy the characters from this page's grid, or in Word/Google Docs format normal text with Format → Text → Superscript.

Why do ¹²³ look slightly different from ⁴⁵⁶?

The ¹ ² ³ characters are centuries old (they came with Latin-1 for fractions and abbreviations); ⁰ and ⁴–⁹ were added later in a different Unicode block, so fonts draw them in a slightly different style.

Can I write whole words in superscript letters?

Mostly — a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, m, n, o and a few others exist as modifier letters. But q and several others were never encoded, so full-word superscript names are not always possible in plain text.

Why does ⁿ sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+207F (Superscript Latin Small Letter N). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Superscript free to use?

Yes. ⁿ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
