Subscripts Symbols

Subscript digits, the plus and minus signs, parentheses and a set of lowercase letters. For chemical formulae and mathematical indices when real subscript formatting is unavailable.

This group holds 15 characters. They are contiguous, U+2080 through U+208E with nothing else in between, which means they were standardised together as one set. They are drawn from Superscripts and Subscripts (15) in the Unicode Standard, which is what decides how each one is encoded and how software sorts and compares it.

All 15 come from Superscripts and Subscripts: raised and lowered digits and letters. A block is an address rather than a category, and this group is drawn from that block alone.

None of these is listed here with a Windows Alt code, so copying is the route in this drawer.

10 carry a numeric value, so software that asks what number a character is gets an answer rather than an error. All 15 have a compatibility decomposition, which means NFKC normalisation rewrites it into something plainer and a search box may not return what was pasted into it.

Every character below copies with one click. 10 of them have a guide page as well, with the Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
