      A frequent question... You can just copy these characters here from Unicode range U+2070 to U+2089:
      ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉
      (or %(#000000)[Ctrl + Shift + U], then type 2070 [enter])

      This doesn't appear to work on Windows.

        Can anyone do this for me in the upper attached file. Ones with subscript number 1 and ones with superscrip. I need the instructions for PC not for mac. Tig can you tell me please where to write those codes you've mentioned. I've tried as you wrote but no succses. Do you use any special plugin or..........

          I already did the superscript version for you. 😒 There aren't subscript numbers shown in the Character Map in the Tahoma font. Will Calibri work?

          To get the characters as TIG listed, hold Alt while you type the number on the number keypad. This doesn't require a plugin. It's just native Windows stuff.

          You can also just select and insert the characters from Character Map.

            Is relatively easy on a PC... use System Tools > Character Map [suitable for any font you are using], and copy/paste the desired odd characters... unless you have say a Chinese system when you might find that some of the more unusual [but standard] characters are not provided in even the most common of fonts like Arial - I recently had to advise a Chinese PC user to edit my AreaTag tool to use "12.3 m2" instead of the usual "12.3 m²" as he was getting a blank character !

              But for the superscript 1, 2 and 3 you should be able to use Alt+...

                re: TIGs list of special character codes (for which I thank)... after half an hour of trying these - eh, so that'll be the numeric keys on the side then?! 😆

                        Thank you guys! That looks like that should really do it. I'll give it a run. It will help us have a starting view of our site that's consistent with other working views. Peter
