I think they are two different methods... to get the same (one uses "compose" key and the other one uses unicode input, the latter not being available for QT users). Curious is that I can get "¹²³" by using the "Shift+^+number" method but that does not work for the rest of the numbers "4 5 6 7 8 9". When I press that combo (i.e., "Shift+^+4"), my system "beeps" and outputs nothing :-?
