$A \subseteq B$. I want to write "bounded" below the \subseteq symbol. How can I do it?
I found a way to write text above and below an arrow symbol. But how to do the same with the subset symbol?

Using the \clap command from mathtools, you can have the default spacing of \subset:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\[
A \underset{\clap{\scriptsize bounded}}{\subseteq}B \]
\end{document}
amsmath's\underset. See How to add text under symbol in equation ?\subseteqsince it pushes the two sets away from the symbol. Since it will additionally set up your line heights, I would try to avoid even shorter forms like "bdd." in inline math. I would probably just write what you need to say in words. If this is a recurring and important concept you may be able to define a symbol for it. I have seen\Subsetused for a compact set contained in another, but there are other similarly-shaped symbols ...
