Need to insert subscripted numbers in glossary marker
I would like to insert these, subscripted, characters in a glossary marker:
I would expect that there are numbers in unicode which will do this - but how do I find them?

re: …but how do I find them?
There are many search sites out there that can turn them up, but here's a cheat-sheet (and these are all SMP BMP codepoints, so should work in FM, if the font populates them):
Superscripts: ⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ ˣˢᵗʰᴱ
Subscripts: ₀ ₁ ₂ ₃ ₄ ₅ ₆ ₇ ₈ ₉ ₊ ₋ ₙ ⏨
In FM, I would use my usual convention, implementing these as Variables, e.g.
Name: U+2080 SUBSCRIPT ZERO
Def: \u2080
Even if a Character Format could be applied to a Glossary def, it would probably break any hypertext created for it.
