Superscript & Subscript Markdown Support
I think to really complete the whole experience, ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳᶦᵖᵗ and ₛᵤᵦₛ𝒸ᵣᵢₚₜ would be the next two courses of action. The other basic markdown options already exist. What's keeping these bad boys away from joining in on the fun?

In reply to Starfield_9, what if you forgot how NH₄⁺ works and you needed to ask your chemistry wiz Discord friend? What if you needed two different variables but only had x? "In my opinion," the possibilities are endless with superscript and subscript!

writing chemical equations, exponents, making text tiny to emphasize a whisper, there are tons of good reasons for subscript and superscript!

Bobby Shmurda makes an important point - not everybody that uses Discord does so for gaming, and super-/subscripts have a lot of usage in non-gaming daily life. Frankly I'm baffled why it's not already part of markdown on Discord. 31 -
The only real downside is there'd be a bunch of people using alternating subscript and superscript or something to make their text obnoxious to read, but people do shenanigans like that anyway so does it really matter

I would like it so that I can do better cat faces. >..<

Needed!

Please this would add alot to showing how you want to say things in text

Ah yes, this would be useful.
I was just duckduckgoing for a way to type some programming/math notes with subscripts.

Whenever you need to express math, but what if you want to make that tiny text? Having such as feature would be very helpful. Nice sona, btw ^w^

My simple use case is so I can conveniently express space in m³

the biggest reason for this is that not all characters have super/subscript variants in unicode, and unicode itself specifically states that this is intentional, because you're not technically supposed to use those characters in that way, you're supposed to prefer a formatting system that can render the text properly.
So, if I wanna write something like the symbol in the picture below:
I just couldn't. I'd have to use a mathjax bot or something, which is kinda sad tbh.

I kind of agree with those who say yes, especially if people are using their text field to make footnotes, which are normally smaller than normal text at the bottom of said text fieldI kind of agree with those who say yes, especially if people are using their text field to make footnotes, which are normally smaller than normal text at the bottom of said text field
All I can say now is this has to be a thing... SOMETIME in 2020 or 2021
Edit~Bold italic [three asterisks around text] still does not display as bold italic on the iOS app… That still needs to be fixed

I would be for having super- and subscript as options in Discord markdown, but as far as numbers specifically go, there already exist characters for this that can be inserted into Discord chat: https://altcodeunicode.com/alt-codes-math-symbols-superscript-subscript-numbers/

Yeah, I agree. I need sub/superscript for writing equations.

What is the status of this at the moment? OP was almost a year ago.
If you want a work around for some letters, you can type a few Sub- and Superscripts into Discord using Unicode. It only works for some letters, though. Subscript C for example, doesn't have a code.Make sure to enable Unicode (or UTF -- not sure if UTF-16 or UTF-8 or "UTF Hex Input" --) on your computer's input settings first because the typical setting is ANSI.
The way you access Unicode typing varies from OS to OS. I think in windows, its the Super+Ctrl+U (Super is the windows logo key), then let go and type the code and hit enter. I think it works this way on Linux too. I don't know about mac (Edit: it seems you hold the option key the whole time you type out the code, then let go).1 -
Also waiting on this feature to be added. Markdown on other sites/programs has this ability, why not discord?
