What the small text symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 107 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Phonetic Extensions (49), Superscripts and Subscripts (30) and Spacing Modifier Letters (8).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Letter | 87 | ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ | U+1D43–U+1D9C | Text presentation |
| Number | 20 | ₀ ₁ ₂ | U+2080–U+2084 | Text presentation |
Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.
