Frequently Asked Questions
How does Small Caps differ from just using capital letters?
Small Caps (ᴛᴇxᴛ) uses specially designed glyphs where lowercase letters are shaped like capitals but sized to match lowercase height. Regular ALL CAPS looks aggressive and is harder to read. Small Caps maintains the visual rhythm of mixed case while achieving uniform letter shapes. It's why publishers use Small Caps for author names and chapter headings—it's distinguished without shouting.
What Unicode blocks does the Small Caps Text Generator use?
Small Caps pulls from multiple Unicode sources: Latin Extended-B, Latin Extended-D, Phonetic Extensions, and IPA Extensions. Unlike Mathematical styles that have complete alphabets, Small Caps is assembled from phonetic symbols that happen to look like small capitals. This means some letters (like 'x' in ᴛᴇxᴛ) may fall back to regular lowercase when no small cap variant exists.
Why do some letters look slightly different in Small Caps?
Because Small Caps characters come from phonetic alphabets (International Phonetic Alphabet, Uralic Phonetic Alphabet), some have subtle variations from what you'd expect. The small cap 'ɢ' and 'ʀ' are particularly distinctive. These aren't design flaws—they're authentic IPA symbols repurposed for decorative text. Most readers won't notice, but linguists might smile.
Is Small Caps appropriate for professional LinkedIn headlines?
Small Caps is one of the most professional-looking Unicode styles available—it's used in academic publishing, legal documents, and traditional typography. A LinkedIn headline like 'ᴍᴀʀᴋᴇᴛɪɴɢ ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ | ʙ2ʙ sᴀᴀs' looks distinguished rather than gimmicky. It's appropriate for most industries except perhaps the most conservative (government, traditional finance).
Why can't I find Small Caps numbers in this generator?
Unicode doesn't include small capital numbers—the concept doesn't exist in traditional typography where Small Caps was designed to harmonize with lowercase text. Numbers in Small Caps contexts stay regular size. This is typographically correct: '2024' alongside 'ᴛᴇxᴛ' is how professional typesetters would handle it. Some fonts offer 'old-style figures' but those aren't available as Unicode characters.
