The superscripts and subscripts are part of the options offered by office applications such as Word and Excel for a complete management of the text variables and the data that we work on them, both the superscript (which is at the top) and the subscript (it is located at the bottom), is a way to highlight an element, such as a letter or a number, in a sentence or a specific word, these are applied in scenarios such as:

 

Superscript or subscript uses

 

  • Measurements (M 2 , M 3 )
