A
proposal for subranges within the Private Use Area
of Unicode:
Supplements to the Latin alphabet for Medieval
texts
Subrange
10. Superscript (interlinear) characters: E900 -
E9FF
This range
includes superscript characters, typically placed
above another base line character. They are found
in many Medieval Germanic manuscripts, and also in
other languages. The position immediately above a
base line character distinguishes them from raised
interlinear characters typically occupying a
position immediately after another base line
character. This latter type includes a handful of
phonetic modifiers such as a raised "w" indicating
rounding, a raised "h" indicating aspiration
etc.
Unicode
3.1 has no superscript characters, but in
Unicode 3.2 a selection of 13 superscript
characters has been included, namely "a", "e", "i",
"o", "u", "c", "d", "h", "m", "r", "t", "v", "x".
They are located at the end of the range
Combining
diacritical marks,
0363-036F. For the sake of completeness, they are
given in a separate table below.
