Two ways to make text look small: small caps, ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ʟᴏᴏᴋs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜɪs, and superscript, ʷʰⁱᶜʰ ˡᵒᵒᵏˢ ˡⁱᵏᵉ ᵗʰⁱˢ.
How to use the small text generator
Neither is a size — they are separate characters that happen to be drawn small. Small caps come from the phonetic alphabet blocks, where they represent specific speech sounds, and superscript letters come from a block meant for phonetic and mathematical notation. Both are incomplete: small caps has no proper lowercase Q or X, and superscript is missing q, so those letters fall back to the ordinary form and the effect breaks on any word containing them. That is not a fault in the tool; those characters simply do not exist in Unicode, because nobody needed them for phonetics.
Questions
Because Unicode has no small-caps Q. The block exists for phonetic notation and that character was never needed.
No. These are mathematical and phonetic codepoints, so a screen reader announces them symbol by symbol or skips them. A styled name is effectively unreadable to anyone using one.
No. A font changes how ordinary letters look; this swaps in genuinely different characters. That is why it survives a paste into a bio, and why it breaks search.
Small caps are capital-shaped letters at lowercase height. Superscript sits raised above the baseline.
Not with characters. Real size changes need CSS or a document’s own formatting.
Small caps render widely. Superscript has more gaps on older Android.
