Need to insert subscripted numbers in glossary marker

[FrameMaker-dk]

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?

The wikipedia entry talks about special subscripts for things like sub(10) and sub(1), sub(2) and sub(3) but doesn't seem to mention subscripting just any old numbers.

Hi,

And why not just use a character format for subscript?

Best regards, Winfried

Does that work inside a marker?

Hi Jeff,

Yes, you can apply a character format in a marker:

However, as Bob said: This would probably break the hyperlink. Must be tested.

Best regards, Winfried

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.

Thanks a million, @Bob_Niland Saved the day!
