Why do some characters not convert?

Unicode only defines superscript forms for a subset of characters. Letters like "q" and "x" have no official Unicode superscript glyph, so they are passed through as-is. The coverage note below the output tells you exactly how many characters were converted.

Will superscript text paste everywhere?

These are standard Unicode code points, so they paste into any app that supports Unicode — which includes virtually all modern apps, websites, and operating systems. Rendering quality depends on the font the receiving app uses.

Is this the same as HTML ?

No. HTML is a layout instruction understood only by browsers. Unicode superscript characters are single code points that appear raised in any text renderer without markup.

Can I convert superscript back to normal text?

Yes — paste the superscript output back into the input box and click the "Normal" tab to reverse the conversion.

What is an example of superscript text?

A superscript character sits slightly above the baseline, like the 2 in the area formula r² or the ordinal in 1ˢᵗ. Footnote markers such as note¹ and chemical-style exponents are common examples.
