Emacs 26.3, Org-mode 9.1.9, Kubuntu 20.04, 5.4.0-39-generic
Hi,
I've tried my hardest to find an answer in the manuals (print book and
on-line), this list, Reddit, and Stack Exchange with no luck. I use
Emacs for org-mode, and I don't code or know Elisp. I have no use for or
interest in learning LaTeX. I never use subscript, and I only use
superscript in poetry/prose (mostly quotes, not original), and I don't
foresee (but admit I may) a need to export.
I understand that:
^2H is not recognized as superscript _on purpose_. Per Org syntax, you
have to add a non-blank character before the caret. Otherwise, there
would be ambiguity between underline (e.g., _under_) and subscript
(_under). And superscript syntax follows subscript's. [1]
That makes sense to me as a default [2], given that so many org-mode
users use both in math, science, and literate coding context, so I
wouldn't think to suggest it to be changed. All I want to know is how I
can change it for *me*.
I would like to org-toggle-pretty-entities in a buffer and see
superscript before, say, a poetry line or Bible verse I'm quoting in a
note or journal entry, and not see the non-blank character.
Can this be done via customize or with an Elisp snippet in init.el?
Thanks!

(Org Mode 9 Reference Manual p 132). It took me a while to figure out
why it wasn't working at all.
