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 haven’t 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 Garyâ€Student
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 hadn’t awaited any sensible result, and
really: no complete and ranged numeral subscripts (if I hadn’t overlooked).
To my surprise, however, at code about 13200, a flock of physical unit names
was displayed (13172: “barâ€, 13221: “m2â€, 13205: “µlâ€, 13223: “m/s†etc.). In
a very restricted number, in an awful font, known by nobody, but still
suspicious: A gleam of sane reason? Isn’t 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
