While not formally of general category Nd (they are "No"), the superscript
digits are a bit scattered:
00B2;SUPERSCRIPT TWO
00B3;SUPERSCRIPT THREE
00B9;SUPERSCRIPT ONE
2070;SUPERSCRIPT ZERO
2074;SUPERSCRIPT FOUR
2075;SUPERSCRIPT FIVE
2076;SUPERSCRIPT SIX
2077;SUPERSCRIPT SEVEN
2078;SUPERSCRIPT EIGHT
2079;SUPERSCRIPT NINE
And there are situations where one wants to interpret them as in a
decimal-position system.
