How to type subscripts on MacBook Air M2 2022

What application are you attempting to use super/subscript in? If Pages, only the Format : Font : Baseline menu items work and their keyboard shortcuts are frustratingly wrong. Even in the Pages user guide for Mac.

On a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16-inch, the superscript keyboard shortcut is actually ⇧⌃⌘+ and on my M2 Mac mini Pro with a extended Apple Magic Keyboard, it is ⌃⌘+ where the + symbol is on the numeric keyboard, not on the main keyboard. Changing the plus symbol to the minus symbol does subscript.

Or the trusty Character Viewer as dialabrain suggested… and if one searches for digits, the superscript and subscript numbers are a row apart.

You can enter subscripts & superscripts from the Character Viewer. Type one or the other in Search.

Subscripts₁ Superscripts².
