Small Text Coverage Calculator

Not every letter has a small version, so this calculator checks your exact text letter by letter. It scores superscript, subscript and small caps, marks the letters that stay full size, and builds a smart mix that fills each gap from the next-best tiny style.

3 Kinds of Small Text

Small text is 3 different Unicode sets. Superscript (ᵗⁱⁿʸ) raises letters, subscript (ₜᵢₙᵧ) lowers them, and small capitals (ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ) keep them on the line. Switch between them to compare size, coverage and readability.

Which Letters Can Be Small?

Unicode added tiny letters for phonetics and maths, not for fonts, so each set has gaps. Dashed squares below stay full size in that style.

Where Tiny Text Works

Superscript letters render on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. The bigger question is whether the app filters them. Pick an app below.

Small Text FAQs

Why are some letters not small?

Unicode has no superscript q and only 17 subscript letters, so those characters stay normal size. The coverage calculator shows exactly which of your letters are affected.

Is small text the same as a smaller font size?

No, small text is a different set of Unicode characters, not a font-size change. That is why it works in apps without a size setting.

Can I use small text on Instagram?

Yes, superscript and small caps work in Instagram bios, names and captions. Very small text is hard to read on phones, so keep it short.

What is the smallest text I can copy?

Superscript and subscript are the smallest; both are about two-thirds the height of normal letters. Subscript also sits lower, so it looks even tinier.

How do I make small text in Discord?

Start a line with -# and a space to make Discord subtext, or paste superscript from this page. The [Discord fonts](/discord-fonts/) page builds both.

Is small text the same as small caps?

No, small text raises or lowers letters, while small caps keep them on the line as short capitals. Use the [small caps generator](/small-caps/) for headings.
