Subscript Generator
Subscript characters sit below the baseline and are drawn small. Unicode's subscript set is the thinnest on this site, so the honest description of what you will get matters more here than anywhere else.

Screen readers and search
This style swaps the letters for different characters, so a screen reader reads out character names instead of your word, and the text stops matching a search.
Usernames are different
Every style here works in a bio, caption, message or status. None of them work in an @username or handle: those fields are checked against a short list of plain characters and anything else is refused. That is the field rejecting the characters, not the generator failing.
Some letters simply do not exist in this style. Those are left as normal letters rather than swapped for something that looks wrong.
How it works
Subscript letters and digits were encoded for chemistry, mathematics and linguistics, not for decoration, and only the characters those fields needed were ever added. The generator uses exactly what exists. As with every style here, this is character substitution rather than a font, so the lowered position stays intact when the text is pasted into an app that offers no formatting.
Coverage is the thing to understand before you use it. There are no subscript capitals whatsoever, so every capital letter you type comes back unchanged. Only about half the lowercase alphabet has a subscript form, so a typical word converts in patches, with some letters dropped down and others sitting at their normal height. Digits, by contrast, are complete, which makes this style genuinely useful for numbers and chemical formulae and unreliable for words.
If you want a small look across a whole phrase, the superscript style on this site covers far more letters and is the better choice. Where subscript is used, remember that the converted characters replace the real ones: screen readers announce them by their Unicode names, and search will not find the words. Content fields such as bios, captions, messages and statuses accept them, while @usernames and handles will not.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what people ask us most
Why did my capital letters not change?
Unicode contains no subscript capitals. Not a single one exists, so there is nothing to convert them to and they are passed through as typed.
Why do only some lowercase letters drop down?
Roughly half the lowercase alphabet has a subscript character and the rest was never encoded. The generator converts what exists and leaves the remainder alone, which is why words come out patchy.
Can I write chemical formulae with this?
Yes, and that is its strongest use. All ten digits have subscript forms, so a formula with numbers after the element symbols works properly and copies cleanly into any message or document field.
What should I use instead for small text?
The tiny text style, which uses superscript characters. It covers the full lowercase alphabet and all digits, with gaps only among the capitals.
