Look here and see if it helps:

if that isn't what you are looking for, maybe you can clarify what you are trying to do? is this going to be CLI or are you wanting to put something on a GUI?

Your question is not at all obvious. Where are you trying to write a superscript ? in a terminal ? a Tkinter canvas ? a printer ? a pdf document ? This is the main problem.

The thing about outputting super/subscript in term is that it will vary from system to system. Experiment with the '\x##' replacing ## with any hex number from 01 to FF. Eventually you will find the characters you want to use.

this will print a list of every character for you:

 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
nums = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
 
for a in nums:
	for b in nums:
		exec("print '\\\\x"+a+b+": \\x"+a+b+"'")
nums = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']

for a in nums:
	for b in nums:
		exec("print '\\\\x"+a+b+": \\x"+a+b+"'")
