Maybe you’re a visual person. Maybe you like to savor the journey. Or maybe your keyboard shortcut just refuses to cooperate (it happens). No worries, my click-happy friend. Here’s the plan: highlight your text, then click on “Format” in the top menu bar.
From there, hover over “Text.” A little side menu pops up like a helpful ghost. Then click on “Superscript.” That’s it. Your character literally lifts off the line. It’s satisfying every single time, not gonna lie. Pro tip: You can also use this menu to do subscript (the little numbers that sink down, like in H₂O), but today we’re all about the sky-high life.

But Wait—What If I’m on a Phone or Tablet?
Ah, the mobile question. You’re probably reading this on a phone right now, aren’t you? I see you. If you’re using the Google Docs app on iPhone or Android, the process is a bit… well, quirky. Highlight your text, then tap the “Format” icon (it looks like a capital A with tiny lines next to it).
In that menu, scroll until you see “Text.” Tap it, then switch on “Superscript.” It’s not as fast as the desktop shortcut, but hey, it still works. Just don’t expect fireworks. The app is a bit clunky, but it gets the job done when you’re on the bus.
