Subscript Text Overview

Shrink your words below the baseline with true subscript glyphs for digits and many letters. Short labels like H₂O, CO₂, or tᵢₙy look neat and technical while staying copy-and-paste text. Not every Latin letter has a dedicated subscript; unsupported ones remain normal so the phrase stays readable.

Lower symbols for formulas, indices, and chemical names—drop selected characters beneath the baseline so notation reads naturally in Jupyter notes, Obsidian vaults, or Anki cards.

Subscript — baseline markers for math, chem, and data labels

Digits map to ₀–₉ and many letters have true subscript forms. At a glance: 0→₀, 1→₁, …, 9→₉; letters such as a→ₐ, e→ₑ, h→ₕ, i→ᵢ, k→ₖ, l→ₗ, m→ₘ, n→ₙ, o→ₒ, p→ₚ, r→ᵣ, s→ₛ, t→ₜ, u→ᵤ, v→ᵥ, x→ₓ. Quick peek: H2O → H₂O, CO2 → CO₂, x1 → x₁, vmax → vₘₐₓ.

Good fits

  • Chemical formulas (H₂O, SO₄²⁻ when paired with superscripts for charge).
  • Math/CS indices and tensors (x₁, aᵢ, wₜ) and table footnote marks.
  • Figure labels, axis units, and compact counters in dashboards.

Workflow

  1. Type your expression in the left field.
  2. Convert it to the subscript set.
  3. Place the result into your document, card, or caption.

Craft notes

  • Not every letter has a dedicated subscript; the tool uses the closest valid subscript where available and leaves others unchanged.
  • Keep runs short—subscripted paragraphs are hard to scan; reserve for symbols, indices, and brief labels.
  • Screen readers read the underlying characters; keep critical meaning in ordinary text nearby.
  • Spacing and vertical alignment can vary slightly by font; preview tight layouts.

Similar tools to explore: Superscript for exponents and ordinal endings, Monospace for code-style tokens, Small Capital for tidy labels, and Italic when you need gentle emphasis without baseline shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which characters have true subscripts?

Digits 0–9 and many letters (ₐ ₑ ₕ ₖ ₗ ₘ ₙ ₒ ₚ ᵢ ⱼ ᵣ ₛ ₜ ᵤ ᵥ ₓ). Others stay normal.

Is this plain text?

Yes, everything is standard Unicode so you can copy and search it.

Good use cases?

Formulas (H₂O), footnotes, compact units, and stylized tags.

Any device caveats?

Subscripts render on modern systems; older fonts may swap or omit some glyphs.

Tips for readability?

Keep phrases short; mix normal letters where no subscript exists.
