Hello all, I wonder why only a subset of the alphabet is available as subscript and/or superscript ?
This is well illustrated on the table in the following Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts#Latin_and_Greek_tables Is there a reason for this ? I would love to have these characters available because I often use Unicode to write equations as comments of a source code. For instance: class Term_diff_rotDivStressTensor_splitted /** * Computes: * * μ ⎛μ⎞ ⎡1 ⎤ * —.Δω + ∇⎜—⎟×Δu + ∇×⎢—.(∇u + ∇uᵀ)·∇μ⎥ * ρ ⎝ρ⎠ ⎣ρ ⎦ */ { [...] (class definition) } or a more problematic example: /* * ⌠tᵉⁿᵈ * q(tᴺ) ← q(t⁰) +⎮ rhs(q,t) dt + (tᵉⁿᵈ - tˢᵗᵃʳᵗ) * ⌡tˢᵗᵃʳᵗ */ Here "end" and "start" would have been better as subscripts, but I could not do so because letter "d" is not available as a subscript… As you can see, having only some letters available as subscript (& superscript) is sometimes a pain… Gaël Lorieul PhD student in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Université catholique de Louvain
