Tiny Text Generator is a text generator website or tool that converts text into three small text "fonts." The generated text appears different from regular text because it comprises small text symbols or characters rather than a small caps font. The site uses Unicode to generate these characters, an international standard for mapping textual characters to numerical codes. Initially created to standardize coding rules, Unicode has expanded to include tens of thousands of different symbols, including small caps and a limited set of subscript and superscript characters.

The small caps Unicode alphabet is the most "complete" of the three glyph sets used by the generator. While this website can produce small-caps text, rendering will be better if produced using CSS. The small caps alphabet has a long typographical history, dating back several hundred years, and was used to create an aesthetic distinction or as a substitute for long strings of capital letters that may appear jarring to readers. Superscript characters were introduced to Unicode for math, phonetics, and related fields.
