Type your text and copy it back in sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs: lowercase letters become capital-shaped but stay at x-height. These are real Unicode characters, so the effect survives a copy-paste into LinkedIn, a signature or a profile that accepts no formatting.
The styled font that still looks professional
Small caps are the one Unicode style that survives a serious context. Where gothic or cursive read as decoration, small caps evoke book typography. It is the usual pick for a LinkedIn headline or an email signature.
A phonetic origin
These characters do not come from a decorative block: most are symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet, used by linguists to transcribe sounds. That explains their excellent support — they have existed for decades and ship with almost every system font.
Which letter has no small capital?
Only one letter of the alphabet has no small-capital form in Unicode: the x. It is left exactly as you typed it. Most generators also leave the q and the s in lowercase because they use the old table; this page uses ꞯ (U+A7AF) and ꜱ (U+A731), so "question" comes out ꞯᴜᴇꜱᴛɪᴏɴ and not qᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴ.
What exactly does the converter change?
| Input | Result | Why |
|---|---|---|
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz | ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘꞯʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ | the 25 letters that exist as small capitals |
x | x | no small capital X exists in Unicode |
ABC | ABC | capitals are left alone, so an acronym stays readable |
123 | 123 | digits have no small-capital form |
Nothing is ever dropped: a character Unicode does not provide comes back exactly as you typed it, so you can always see what was not converted.
Frequently asked questions
Are small caps readable by screen readers?
Better than other styles, since these are known phonetic characters, but reading is still imperfect. For accessible content, use plain text.
Why does the x stay lowercase?
Unicode never encoded a small capital for that one letter, so no tool can produce it. The q and the s do exist (ꞯ and ꜱ) and this page uses them, unlike generators built on the older table.
Can I use them in a CV?
In a PDF CV, use your word processor's real small caps feature. Unicode is for fields with no formatting, such as an online profile.
Will ꞯ and ꜱ display everywhere?
The small capital ꜱ has been in Unicode since 2008 and is very widely supported. The ꞯ arrived in 2016, so a very old system may draw an empty box for that one letter — a fair trade against leaving a visibly lowercase q in the middle of a word.
What happens to accented letters?
The accent is kept and placed over the small capital, so é becomes ᴇ with its accent. The letter stays readable and the word keeps its meaning.
