What is ʲ?
ʲ is the superscript form of the letter j — a small version raised above the line, like the 2 in x². Unicode picked up these characters for math and phonetics, so they are built into every modern phone, tablet, and computer.
Because ʲ is a Unicode character rather than a font or an image, it keeps its shape when you paste it into bios, captions, usernames, chats, and documents. Convert whole words with the Superscript Generator, or browse every style on the Tiny Text Generator.
