Superscript

Where these characters come from

Like subscript, these were encoded for notation rather than decoration, which is why digits are complete and letters are not.

Worth knowing before you use them

The letter coverage has awkward holes — a few common letters are missing entirely. Test the specific word you need rather than assuming.

Where this family earns its place

Superscript is for exponents, ordinals and small asides — again, notation rather than decoration. It is also occasionally useful for a trailing marker in a plain-text field. Check the specific letters you need before building anything around it, because the alphabet has real gaps.

Every style here, and how each one works

The method matters more than the name: it determines whether your letters are replaced, recased or merely marked, and that in turn decides how the result behaves when pasted into a field that validates its input.
