Small Caps Generator
Convert text to small capitals you can copy and paste.
The small caps generator
Type your text and every letter becomes its small capital form, whichever case you typed it in, so Jane Doe becomes ᴊᴀɴᴇ ᴅᴏᴇ. These are real Unicode characters, so the style survives a paste into a bio or a heading. WordBench writes q as an ordinary capital Q and x as an ordinary lowercase x; digits and accented letters stay as typed.
About the small caps generator
The WordBench small caps generator rewrites your letters as small capital forms, so the text reads in an even, understated all-caps style without shouting. Type your text and copy the small caps version straight into a bio, a heading, or a post.
Like the bold generator, this uses real Unicode characters rather than formatting, so the effect holds up when pasted into plain text fields. Every letter becomes a small capital, whether you typed it in upper or lower case, so the whole line sits at one even height.
Small caps have a calm, editorial feel that suits names, labels, and short headings. WordBench writes q as an ordinary capital Q and x as an ordinary lowercase x, and leaves digits, punctuation, accented letters and other alphabets unchanged. When your text contains a letter that stays plain, the tool lists it above the result.
Where these characters actually render
This is the part other generators leave out. These are not bold or small caps in the formatting sense: they are separate letters from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block. Whether they show up depends on whether the surface has a glyph for them, not on whether the surface supports formatting. Where it fails, it fails as empty boxes.
| Surface | Bold | Small caps | Upside down | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instagram bio and captions | Renders | Renders | Renders | The most common reason people want these characters, and the surface where they are most reliable. |
| X (Twitter) posts | Renders | Renders | Renders | Renders, but remember X counts a non-Latin character as two weighted units, so styled text costs double against the 280 limit. |
| LinkedIn posts and headlines | Renders | Mostly renders | Renders | Bold renders everywhere. Small caps depend on the viewer's device font and drop to plain letters on some Android builds. |
| Renders | Mostly renders | Renders | WhatsApp has real bold with asterisks, which is a better choice: it stays readable to screen readers and searchable. | |
| Discord | Renders | Renders | Renders | Discord also has real markdown formatting, so Unicode is only needed where markdown is not parsed, such as a channel name. |
| Google Docs and Sheets | Mostly renders | Mostly renders | Mostly renders | Depends entirely on the document font. Switch to a font without the Mathematical Alphanumeric block and every character becomes a box. |
| Email subject lines | Mostly renders | Boxes or stripped | Mostly renders | Renders in most modern clients but is a strong spam signal, and older clients show boxes. Not worth the risk on anything that matters. |
| Search engines and page titles | Boxes or stripped | Boxes or stripped | Boxes or stripped | Google normalises or ignores these characters, so a title in Unicode bold is not the keyword you think it is. Never use them in a page title or heading. |
| Screen readers | Boxes or stripped | Boxes or stripped | Boxes or stripped | Announced character by character as mathematical symbols, or skipped entirely. This is the real cost: styled Unicode makes text unreadable to anyone using assistive software. |
| Plain text files and code | Renders | Renders | Renders | The characters survive because they are ordinary Unicode, but they will not match a search for the plain-letter version. |
Two rows deserve a second look. Search engines fold or ignore these characters, so a page title in Unicode bold is not the keyword you think it is. And screen readers announce them one symbol at a time or skip them, which makes styled text genuinely unreadable to anyone using assistive software. Use it in a bio for effect; never in something someone has to read.

The small caps alphabet with Unicode code points
The 25 letters the generator changes, each with its own code point and the code point of the character that replaces it. A capital is converted the same way as its lowercase letter, so A and a both come out as ᴀ.
| Letter | Code point | Small caps | Result code point |
|---|---|---|---|
| a | U+0061 | ᴀ | U+1D00 |
| b | U+0062 | ʙ | U+0299 |
| c | U+0063 | ᴄ | U+1D04 |
| d | U+0064 | ᴅ | U+1D05 |
| e | U+0065 | ᴇ | U+1D07 |
| f | U+0066 | ꜰ | U+A730 |
| g | U+0067 | ɢ | U+0262 |
| h | U+0068 | ʜ | U+029C |
| i | U+0069 | ɪ | U+026A |
| j | U+006A | ᴊ | U+1D0A |
| k | U+006B | ᴋ | U+1D0B |
| l | U+006C | ʟ | U+029F |
| m | U+006D | ᴍ | U+1D0D |
| n | U+006E | ɴ | U+0274 |
| o | U+006F | ᴏ | U+1D0F |
| p | U+0070 | ᴘ | U+1D18 |
| q | U+0071 | Q | U+0051 |
| r | U+0072 | ʀ | U+0280 |
| s | U+0073 | ꜱ | U+A731 |
| t | U+0074 | ᴛ | U+1D1B |
| u | U+0075 | ᴜ | U+1D1C |
| v | U+0076 | ᴠ | U+1D20 |
| w | U+0077 | ᴡ | U+1D21 |
| y | U+0079 | ʏ | U+028F |
| z | U+007A | ᴢ | U+1D22 |
WordBench writes q as an ordinary capital Q and x as an ordinary lowercase x, whichever case you type them in. Digits, punctuation, accented letters and other alphabets pass through unchanged. Code points are read from the characters themselves when the page is built, so the table always matches what the tool outputs.
Who uses it
Worked example
Type "Globex quarterly notes".
The generator returns ɢʟᴏʙᴇx Qᴜᴀʀᴛᴇʀʟʏ ɴᴏᴛᴇꜱ. The capital G becomes the same small capital as a lowercase g would, so the line sits at one even height. The q comes out as an ordinary capital Q and the x stays a plain x, and the line above the result lists both, so you can see exactly which letters did not become small capitals.
Paste it into a heading or a profile and the small caps style comes along, since each letter is its own Unicode character rather than formatting.
Frequently asked questions
What are small caps? Small caps are capital letters drawn at roughly the height of lowercase letters. They give text an even, all-caps look that is softer than full-size capitals, often used for names, acronyms, and short headings.

Is this real typographic small caps?
True small caps come from a typeface. This tool approximates them with Unicode small capital characters so you can paste the effect into plain text fields. For print or a design tool, a proper small caps font is the higher quality option.
Which letters don't become small caps?
WordBench writes q as an ordinary capital Q and x as an ordinary lowercase x, so the line stays readable without a gap. Every other letter from a to z has a small capital in the table on this page, with its code point. Digits, punctuation, accented letters and other alphabets pass through unchanged.
Will capitals I already typed change?
Yes. Every letter becomes its small capital form whether you typed it in upper or lower case, so Jane and JANE come out the same. That gives the whole line one even height.
Can I see the code point of each small capital?
Yes. The table on this page lists every letter the generator changes, with the Unicode code point of the letter you type and of the character that replaces it, for example U+0061 for a and U+1D00 for ᴀ. The values are read from the characters themselves when the page is built.
Exactly what this tool counts, and why the result can differ from your word processor, is written out on the methodology page. Platform character limits, with the unit each one counts in and the date it was checked, are on the character limits pages.
