Set slightly lower
Subscripted describes text or a symbol positioned slightly below the normal line, typically in smaller type.
Chemical formulas use subscripted numbers to show atomic quantities: H₂O has a subscripted 2.
In mathematics, subscripted variables distinguish related elements: x₁, x₂, x₃.
The opposite is superscripted, which sits above the line.
