To use Unicode characters here, you just put them in an html entity:

Most tables show them as hexadecimal numbers. For example, at that wiki link the Unicode number for superscript parentheses are 0x207D and 0x207E. So we write:


Which should give us this: n⁽²⁺⁵⁾

Most Unicode characters should work in thread/reply titles as well. Like using ＝ for an equals sign.

There is a catch. Any characters the DU software strips out for security purposes will get deleted if you preview and then post a message or if you go back and edit one. When previewing, just hit the back button before posting so the html entity is in the post, not the actual character. That pertains more to titles than message text, and only for a few characters - most Unicode characters act like any other character after being converted from an html entity.

You could even DU Mail yourself a list of the characters you may use to have an easy place to copy and paste from - easy to update and find as well.
