Small Letters (ₜₕᵣₑₑ ᵈᶦᶠᶠᵉʳᵉⁿᵗ Tʏᴘᴇs)

This is a small letters generator which allows you to put normal text in, and get small letters text out on the other side. You can copy and paste the small letters to your Instagram bio, to Facebook posts, to Twitter tweets, and in general, to anywhere that allows you to post text on the internet (This is because the generated small letters are text symbols, not a font).

The reason you can do this is because the small letters are a part of the Unicode standard which is a massive specification for all the different text characters that exist on computers and other devices. People often mistake the small letters for a small letter font, but it's not that at all. They're just symbols like ® and ™. The difference is, they're just smaller versions of the normal alphabet letters (the ones you're reading right now) which are also a part of the Unicode standard.

You'll notice that some of the letters don't work properly (the small letters are weirdly shaped or just aren't small) - and that's because there are still some small characters that don't yet exist in the Unicode standard. Over time, more symbols will be added and hopefully we'll get a full alphabet of small letters to use, and this small letter generator will be complete.

There's three different types of small letters generated: subscript, superscript and small caps. The subscript is just as you'd expect from the name: they're used as the smaller letters below normal letters, especially in math. Similarly, the superscript symbol set is also often used in math, and can often be seen used to indicate a reference (as seen in scientific papers). Finally, the small caps symbol set was apparently originally used to "to prevent capitalized words from appearing too large on the page, and as a method of emphasis or distinctiveness for text alongside or instead of italics, or when boldface is inappropriate" (according to Wikipedia). Here's an example of small caps usage:

The small caps symbol set is complete, but as I mentioned earlier, the small letters of the superscript and subscript symbols aren't. If you can find a Unicode symbol for any of the missing tiny sub/super script characters, then please let me know in the comments and I'll update this translator! Thanks :)
