I notice many references out there showing how superscripts/subscripts can work for titles, labels, and footers. But is there any way to make it work in string values?

ods escapechar='^';
data superscripts;
  supc="BLABLABLA^{super c}";
  supd="BLABLABLA^{super d}";
run;

Hi @BigPete 

You can use the UNICODE SAS Function 

 data _null_;
  str1=unicode("\u00AA");put str1=;          /* default */
 run;
 
 str1=ª

I followed this link to lookup the values of the special/Unicode characters https://www.htmlsymbols.xyz/miscellaneous-symbols/subscript-and-superscript

 

Hope this helps
