Sub/superscript numerals in UNICODE
Dear friends,
Some year ago I tried here to submit an instruction (macro) how to transpone numeric characters within a string (better: a content of a cell) into sub- and superscripts. It is useful for referencing these strings to another cell, to chart legends, to chart axes labels etc. without the loss of such a formatting. A matter of importance for chemists and other technicians. Here I was successful only by the aid of rather uncommon fonts: Chemistry Sherif and Chemistry SansSherif. The question appears, whether there havent since something useful come up now. I have in mind UNICODE pre-eminently. I was shocked by Uni-characters code number of some 1800 that Gary€ťStudent used for playing magic here some days ago. How do people find out these items? Inspired, I tried to write out (ChrW) all the characters up to the code number of 20000 in a sheet. I hadnt awaited any sensible result, and really: no complete and ranged numeral subscripts (if I hadnt overlooked). To my surprise, however, at code about 13200, a flock of physical unit names was displayed (13172: €śbar€ť, 13221: €śm2€ť, 13205: €śÂµl€ť, 13223: €śm/s€ť etc.). In a very restricted number, in an awful font, known by nobody, but still suspicious: A gleam of sane reason? Isnt there in UNICODE, under the code number of say 456000, either the long desired ten of natural numerals in subscripts and superscripts really hidden? Who can tell? Meanwhile, I remain pessimistic. There is probably no place for the twenty of such poor characters, alongside piles of foolish markers (and, respectful, Eastern scripts). But if: can such a trifle be requested at some place? A matter of discussion€¦ Regards -- Petr Bezucha |
