We only get the standard shift character as an option. E.g. 1 shows !, 2 shows @, etc.
I’d use superscripts all the time if it was on the keyboard. Anyone know if MacOS can do it? Other than pressing the weird globe key and searching.
- shadowfiend 4y agoEasiest way I can think of is that you can use text substitution (System Settings -> Keyboard -> Text Replacements...) to set a string of characters that should substitute to the superscript characters (you can look it up with the globe key to set it up initially). So you could make e.g. [1] map to ¹, [2] map to ², etc. You could also use this trick on i(Pad)OS (Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Substitutions). In fact, the substitutions should sync across if you're logged into the same Apple ID.

Includes “favorites” and “recently used” sections. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unichar-unicode-keyboard/id880811847 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unichar-unicode-keyboard/id880...
