Insert superscript 2 in text field Illustrator Javascript scripting

Question

Dear All,I've been trying to add and remove certain pieces of text based on their font and whenever I need to add a certain piece of text back into it's original place again I need to insert a superscript 2 after this text.This is the piece of code in which I add the text back in again:if (textGroupItem.textRange.characterAttributes.textFont.toString().toLowerCase().match(regP attern)){ textGroupItem.textRange.characters.removeAll() textGroupItem.textRange.characters.add(un + " - " + sm + "m" + "²")}This doens't give a superscript 2 but some kind of broken token as text.So far i've also tried:- translatePlaceholderText("c2b2")- "2".sup()- ²- textGroupItem.textRange.characterAttributes.baselineShift = height; <-- height = 2 but this shifts the whole text itemHow can you succesfully add a supercript 2 to a group of characters?

Thanks a lot for this code. I can see that the baseline position of the text item is indeed NORMALBASELINE

But if I try to execute the code last character of the text with: textGroupItem.textRange.characters[-1]

I get that this is undefined.

Is it possible to acess this last character and change just the baseline of that character?
