The Simple Hack for a Cleaner Social Media Bio (No Fancy Apps Required)
How to use “tiny text” to make your Instagram, X, or LinkedIn profile stand out.
If you try to just “format” your text in a Word doc and paste it into Instagram, it usually just snaps back to big, clunky letters. It’s frustrating because most social platforms only allow “plain text.”
The Secret: It’s not a font; it’s Unicode.
I recently started using a trick that doesn’t require downloading any weird keyboard apps. There are specific “superscript” characters built into the global coding standard (Unicode) that stay small no matter where you paste them.
Instead of hunting for these characters one by one, I’ve been using a quick tool: superscript-generator
How I use it:
Type a year or a brand name (like “2024” or “Brand”).
It gives me the tiny version: ²⁰²⁴ or ᴮʳᵃⁿᵈ.
Paste it directly into my bio or even a tweet.
It’s a subtle way to make your profile look “designed” rather than just typed. If you’re a perfectionist about your digital aesthetic like I am, you’ll probably find yourself bookmarking this one.
