Unicode contains subscript and superscript digits. With 'encoding' set
to UTF-8 and an appropriate font you can enter them via Vim's digraph
capabilities. Just press <Ctrl-K>s1 ... <Ctrl-K>s9 for subscript digits
and <Ctrl-K>S1 ... <Ctrl-K>S9 for superscript letters while in insert
mode.

Regards,
Jürgen
