About tiny & small letters
None of these letters were encoded to be an alphabet. The small capitals are phonetic notation — the International Phonetic Alphabet's way of writing sounds — and the raised and lowered letters are modifier letters and formula furniture. Pasted together in sequence, they read as a complete tiny alphabet, which is all a comment thread or a bio line ever needed.
Two honest gaps. There is no small-capital X: the letter simply was never encoded, so small-caps text quietly reuses the ordinary x. And small-capital Q (ꞯ) only arrived in Unicode 16 — before that, folk alphabets made do without it. The subscript alphabet is shorter still — only the letters chemistry and phonetics needed ever got lowered forms.
