how to resolve superscript for text fields

I am trying to create superscripts. eg

ss = "³⁵";

ss1 = '³⁵';

If i execute these on the command line or using f9 it provides the result ³⁵

However when I run this as part of a function I get the result ³?

Time for a unicode lookup.

My speculation is that your file encoding doesn't directly support this. What happens if you use char(8309) instead? (the superscript 3 is char(179), so that should work with many more encodings)

That works really well. Thankyou.

Additionally is it possible to create alphabetic superscripts eg N T

Incidently where did you get the code 8309 from?

You mention text fields, but what kind of text fieds? What can be done with text() to draw characters on a plot, is different from what you can put in a uicontrol style text with difficulty, and different again from what you can do in a uitable. What you can do with uitable style text without difficulty is the same as what you can do at the command line without difficulty; with difficulty you can do some additional weird things at the command line. Then there is what you can do in a uitext field in app designer...
