Making characters superscript or subscript


    You can enter or format type as superscript or subscript characters. Superscript characters are reduced in size and shifted above the type baseline; subscript characters are reduced in size and shifted below the type baseline. If the font does not include superscript or subscript characters, Photoshop generates faux superscript or subscript characters.

To specify superscript or subscript characters:

    Do one of the following:

    • Click the Superscript button Superscript button or the Subscript button Subscript button in the Character palette.
    • Choose Superscript or Subscript from the Character palette menu. A check mark indicates that the option is selected.
