In mathematics, superscripts are numbers or letters written above and to the right of other numbers or letters or symbols indicating how many times the latter is to be used as a factor. When typing, one can represent a superscript by using the ^ symbol to indicate raising the number. For example, x3 is the same as x^3, which equals x * x * x.
Small letters or figures set above normal letters or figures.
(inferior): Small character which appears above the y-height.
