public static boolean isSuperScript(char c)

Determines whether the character is a superscript. Most superscripts have unicode values from \\u2070 to \\u207F inclusive. Superscripts are the following symbols:

⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾ ⁿ

Parameters:

c - The character to test.

Returns:

true if the given character is a superscript.

isSubScript

public static boolean isSubScript(char c)

Determines whether the character is a subscript. Most subscripts have unicode values from \\u2080 to \\u208E inclusive. Subscripts are the following symbols:

₀ ₁ ₂ ₃ ₄ ₅ ₆ ₇ ₈ ₉ ₊ ₋ ₌ ₍ ₎

Parameters:

c - The character to test.

Returns:

true if the given character is a subscript.

toSuperScript

public static char toSuperScript(char c)

Converts the character argument to superscript. Only the following characters can be converted (other characters are left unchanged):

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - = ( ) n

Parameters:

c - The character to convert.

Returns:

The given digit as a superscript, or c if the given character was not a digit.

toSubScript

public static char toSubScript(char c)

Converts the character argument to subscript. Only the following characters can be converted (other characters are left unchanged):

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - = ( ) n

Parameters:

c - The character to convert.

Returns:

The given digit as a subscript, or c if the given character was not a digit.

toNormalScript

public static char toNormalScript(char c)

Converts the character argument to normal script.

Parameters:

c - The character to convert.

Returns:

The given digit as a normal digit, or c if the given character was not a superscript or a subscript.
