Does the Discourse UI support superscript and subscript text?
Geo, the HTML sup and sub tags seem to work. For example, superscript and subscript.

Thanks, Gully.
a2 + b2 = c2
Painful to type, but at least it works.

Alt+0178
= ²
Alt+0179
= Âł
Etc…
You can find more in Character Map:
Thanks, Thomas
Character Map earned its place on my desktop taskbar long ago.
Typically I work in Word™ and then copy>paste into the forum reply box.
(I started doing that back in the days when the forum reply page had a nasty habit of timing out.)
(Poof, there went all your work.)
Consequently I don’t use the Alt+keystrokes to create superscript and subscript because Word® has handy buttons and KB-shortcuts for those.
Unfortunately the sup and sub formatting in Word™ doesn’t please the Discourse UI.
If I use the superscript button in Word® it comes out like this in the forum…
a2 + b2 = c2
Thanks to you, I’ve discovered another workaround in addition to Gully’s.
That is, when I type the subscript Alt+keystrokes in Word™ they appear correctly in the forum…
a² + b² = c²
Go figure?

Another discourse secret is that we can format keys with <kbd></kbd>
