A subscript or superscript is a character that is set slightly below or above the normal line of type, respectively. It is usually smaller than the rest of the text. Subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above. Subscripts and superscripts are often used in formulas, mathematical expressions, and specifications of chemical compounds and isotopes, but have many other uses as well.
