How to write superscript / upper index in Visual Studio?

Question

It is possible, but I don't know how is it done.

Answer 1

Use the Windows Charmap.exe applet. In the Font combobox select a font that has a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode MS is a very good choice. Tick the Advanced view checkbox and type "super" in the Search box. The grid will show all superscript glyphs, select and copy from that and paste into your source code.

Or copy/paste one of these: ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰

Subscript characters: ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉

Answer 2

Adding more details to complement Hans Passant's answer. Other frequently used sets which can be used as is by copy/paste:

Superscript small case letters: ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖʳˢᵗᵘᵛʷˣʸᶻ

Subscript small case letters: ₐ ₑ ₕ ᵢ ⱼ ₖ ₗ ₘ ₙ ₒ ₚ ᵣ ₛ ₜ ᵤ ᵥ ₓ

If you're wondering why few letters are missing in above series then please read below posts:

• Where are the other letters in this Unicode block?
• Why does the unicode Superscripts and Subscripts block not contain simple sequences of all letters?
• Why is there no character for "superscript q" in Unicode?
