Adding a character style to only one running header

Question

Hello,I have a running header in my document that picks up the ChapterTitle. For one particular chapter title, there is a superscript applied to one of the numbers in the ChapterTitle. The superscript doesn't come through on the running header. I cannot figure out a way to get the character style changed just for that specific number of the running header other than making the running header a completely manual entry in the Master view, but that isn't ideal. Is this an easy fix that I am missing?  Image of issue here: http://cl.ly/image/370Y3n0O1g1rThanks,Marita

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. I wish I could report back a success but I can't figure out variables even after much reading on it. The Roman typeface with ctrl+q7 just makes an "o" with a diacritical mark and I am not sure how to type special characters starting with \ or the Alt+ characters. I am running Windows as a virtual machine on my Mac so that may be my problem.

@Marita,

If you are using a character tag that applies just the Suprescript property, then that will properly render in the running header using the <$paratext> building block. However, if you manually applied the superscript (i.e. used an override), then it will fail.

Try setting up the S2ERC as a variable. You can format the "2" within the variable to look the way you want by utilizing the character format Superscript in the building blocks scroll down menu.
