Subscript

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

A subscript is a number, figure or indicator, that appears below the normal line of type, when used in a formula, mathematical expression or description of a chemical compound. Probably the most famous example of a subscript is the number 2 in the formula for the molecule of water; H₂O.

In HTML, subscript text is produced by putting it inside the tags <sub> and </sub>.

In Unicode, there exist also special subscript characters, such as: ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₊₋₌₍₎
