Two thoughts: - keep track of the baseline and size of characters, if the baseline is slightly shifted (upwards -> superscript, downward -> subscript) and the size is smaller than surrounding characters, it's possibly a superscript or subscript character
- be aware of the fact that some fonts contain glyphs for superscripts - then baseline and text size would be the same; in such cases you'd have to look up via the Unicode code point whether you have encountered a superscript.
