Converts a string to UTF-8 superscript

Description

The supsc function translates a normal character to a UTF-8 superscript character. The function can be used to generate superscripts for many common characters. Most alphabetic and numeric characters have UTF-8 superscripts. This function is useful because it saves you from having to look up the superscript character code, or copy and pasting from the internet. If a corresponding superscript character code does not exist, a question mark will be returned for that character.

Usage

supsc(x)

Arguments

x	A string to be converted to superscript.

Value

The superscript version of the string passed to the function, if one exists. Otherwise, a question mark will be returned.
