What are sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs?
sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs are Unicode characters that resemble capital letters but are smaller in size. They create an elegant, professional look often used in typography, branding, and formal documents. Unlike CSS small-caps, these are actual Unicode characters that work anywhere.
Examples:
Hello World → ʜᴇʟʟᴏ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ
Text Case → ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴄᴀsᴇ
Professional → ᴘʀᴏғᴇssɪᴏɴᴀʟ
Elegant → ᴇʟᴇɢᴀɴᴛ
When to Use sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘs
- Social Media: Elegant bios, posts, and captions
- Branding: Stylish brand names and slogans
- Headings: Subtle emphasis without shouting
- Usernames: Unique, professional-looking handles
- Titles: Book titles, article headers
- Emphasis: Elegant alternative to bold or italic
