Unicode Superscript Characters Shown Incorrectly
Unicode characters ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ in word processors (tested with Word and LibreOffice Writer) are not the same height and location compared to each other. The problem looks different with different fonts. With Liberation Serif numbers ⁶ and ⁹ are higher. With Arial and Times New Roman characters ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ are higher.
I noticed this problem first with LibreOffice and made a bug report about it before noticing this is an operating system specific problem.
This problem exists at least in OS X 10.11 El Capitan and macOS 10.12 Sierra.
Mac Pro, OS X 10.11
