Superscript Left Parenthesis is a raised or lowered character used to represent exponents (like x²), footnote references, ordinal indicators, or chemical formula subscripts (like H₂O) directly in plain, unformatted text.
Unicode block: Superscripts and Subscripts (U+2070–U+209F). This block provides standalone superscript and subscript number and letter forms so they can appear in plain text — like footnote markers, chemical formulas, or exponents — without needing HTML `<sup>`/`<sub>` formatting.
At Unicode code point U+207D (decimal 8317), Superscript Left Parenthesis is the 12th of 42 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, like most characters outside the 0–255 legacy codepage range, it has no dedicated Alt-code or single-key shortcut on Windows or Mac, so copy-paste is the standard, universal method for typing it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.
💡 Good to know: Not every digit or letter has a dedicated Unicode superscript/subscript form — some (particularly certain letters) simply don't exist as standalone characters, so formatting (CSS/HTML) is the only option for those.
