Copy subscript 2, 1, 0 and Unicode subscript numbers
Quick answer: Copy ₂ below for subscript 2, or open the subscript generator, type digits, choose Subscript, and paste ₀ to ₉.

Unicode subscript is not a smaller font, it is a separate character that survives copy between Word, Google Docs, and most chat apps.
What counts as subscript text?
Subscript text sits slightly below the normal line. In chemistry, the 2 in H₂O is subscript. Subscript font in our context means Unicode subscript characters (for example ₂), not a separate font file.
Text to Subscript in Three Steps
- Open the text to subscript converter (same tool as the homepage).
- Type plain text:
H2O,x1, or digits only for small numbers copy paste for chemistry style output. - Choose Subscript, set Formula + Numbers Only: On for formulas, then Copy.
Subscript Numbers 0 to 9 (Reference)
| Normal | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subscript | ₀ | ₁ | ₂ | ₃ | ₄ | ₅ | ₆ | ₇ | ₈ | ₉ |
You can copy from the table or generate longer strings with the tool. For subscript 2 copy and paste or sub 1 copy paste, single characters are often enough; for full formulas use the generator. Full character tables also live on the homepage tool.
Formula mode for chemistry (H₂O, CO₂)
Turn on Formula and Numbers Only so only digits after letters become subscript. That matches common chemistry notation. See also our CO₂ and H₂O guide.
