Superscripts Symbols

Superscript digits, signs, parentheses and letters. For exponents, footnote markers, ordinals and units such as square metres, where formatting is not available.

This group holds 13 characters. They run from U+203E to U+207E, close enough together to share a neighbourhood but not a single contiguous run. They are drawn from Superscripts and Subscripts (12), General Punctuation (1) in the Unicode Standard, which is what decides how each one is encoded and how software sorts and compares it.

Most of them, 12 of the 13, come from Superscripts and Subscripts: raised and lowered digits and letters. A block is an address rather than a category, and this group is drawn from 2 of them. The rest come from General Punctuation.

None of these is listed here with a Windows Alt code, so copying is the route in this drawer.

7 carry a numeric value, so software that asks what number a character is gets an answer rather than an error. All 13 have a compatibility decomposition, which means NFKC normalisation rewrites it into something plainer and a search box may not return what was pasted into it.

Every character below copies with one click. 7 of them have a guide page as well, with the Windows, Mac and HTML route written out.
