History & usage: The history and use of the SUPERSCRIPT PLUS SIGN, U+207A, lie in its role as a small raised plus. It sits in the Superscripts and Subscripts block and is part of the Common script group. It was created to appear as a raised symbol in formulas and in text where a power or a related operation is shown in a compact form. In practice, users see it in places that need a compact notation for operations or comparisons, such as scientific formulas or simple interfaces. The symbol helps distinguish a plus sign that belongs to a squared term or to a sequence of notes that are not part of the main line. In many jobs, readers expect a raised plus to indicate a related operation without clutter. This makes it useful in formulas, tooltips, or settings where space is tight. The symbol is a distinct mark, not a normal inline plus, so it remains easy to scan. It is one of several superscript marks used to manage notes and annotations in math and UI text. Its clear form supports quick recognition in basic math and interface contexts.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+207A in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
