Unicode Version 17.0
⁵
U+2075 "⁵" Superscript Five is a typographic symbol representing the digit five rendered in a smaller, raised format, primarily used in mathematical, scientific, and linguistic notation. It functions as an exponent signifying the fifth power of a number, as in "x⁵," or as an ordinal indicator in contexts like "1⁵" for "first fifth." This character belongs to the Superscripts and Subscripts block in Unicode, where it is encoded separately from the regular digit "5" to maintain proper formatting and semantic distinction in digital text. Its availability ensures consistent representation across different platforms and software, supporting precise communication in fields such as algebra, chemistry, and formatting for footnotes or annotations.
