I'm 100 percent positive you used to be able to do it in older Illustrator versions. Currently the only way to do it is manually in the character palette options menu.really blows. There are really several aspects to this and therefore several possible solutions.
Areas of concern:. Typing in applications- document composition applications like Pages, Word. Spreadsheets and other specific apps like Excel, the various Adobe suites, and others. You probably guessed that each app or suite will have potentially it's unique way of handling super (and sub-) scripting, which is what you are referring to. Typing in text apps, note-taking apps. Typing in specific others like Terminal, Messaging, Email that are more closely associated with the OS and tied to specific OS character settings. System wide setting of specific character combinations like 1st, 2nd, etc.
These might also affect Web browser apps like the one I'm using now. Possible solutions:. Set System-wide superscripts. You would have to force superscripts for '1st, 2nd.' Or for the last numeric character typed before a space to force those following specific two letters as superscripts WHERE THEY OCCUR. I actually had this working, sorta nicely at one time, but then it stopped.
Windows does this rather elegantly somehow. I still seem to have a character substitution in place for 0ᵀᴴ (e.g., 100th is typed as 0ᵀᴴ and put the '10' or other characters before it), as an example. You would also have to do this for common fractions like, '½, ¼, etc.' Mac's error correcting schema seems to occur automatically for specific combinations. Uncommon fractions would require manual intervention. Three (or more) character fractions E.G., '13/16, 5/16, 3/32'. Clearly, the characters exist in the table, somewhere.
Manually in specific applications. In ADDITION to doing the above apps tend to control the characters' use and do not follow the system settings. You would have to use a specific keystroke for each program for that. The autocorrect or system settings might work sporadically for this or learn it and work great. I have had limited success. It would be nice to have a common solution that works across ALL apps and scenarios. It doesn't seem possible in Mac OS or at least it's unreliable as it is now or has been in OS X.
Click to expand.FYI, there is. Try the $4.99 aText.app by Tran Ky Nam. It works as text substitution in any app or limited to specific apps, as you wish. It far exceeds (and replaces) the supplied substitutions in System PreferencesKeyboardText. As example, typing a number '2', the character 'st' followed by a space substitutes 2ᴺᴰ (which are the Unicode superscripted upper case characters). This, as you can see here, is applicable in ALL apps (as it modifies the system settings, unless restricted.
Also, common fractions can be typed directly, like ½ and ¾. Also ℅ , etc.

You do have to be careful not to inadvertently use some of them. Works in Yosemite and earlier OS's back to Mountain Lion that by default support Unicode per an Apple KB article.

Photo: Grammarly If you ever missed a full-featured spell-and-grammar checker on iOS then you should check out Grammarly. Grammarly is a replacement keyboard for iOS which not only offers auto-correction as you type, but can also run through the entire text and suggest changes, just like you can do on the Mac. But Grammarly goes one better than that. Its grammar engine picks up on errors of punctuation, grammar, and even spots double spaces.
I just ran it on the previous article I wrote today and it flagged up all kinds of small errors that a regular spell checker would never catch. Grammarly is an essential tool for writers A spell checker is limited because it can’t spot correctly-spelled words used in incorrect places. For instance, “The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ base player was forced to flea the building,” is a dog’s dinner of a sentence, but would pass most spell-checkers just fine. Grammarly detects your mistakes and offers to fix them. Photo: Cult of Mac, On the other hand, can spot many of these mistakes and correct them for you. If you use the Grammarly keyboard to do your typing, then it will make these corrections on the fly, with alternate suggestions appearing above the keyboard, and a little pop-up notification firing every time it makes an auto-correction.
On the iPhone, Grammarly’s limited keyboard is much less annoying. Photo: Grammarly One neat touch is that it stacks its suggestions in a row above the keyboard, so you can keep typing, and then review those suggestions all at once. Just take a look, and tap to confirm. Full-text checks And that’s just the in-line checking. If you prefer, you can choose to ignore the suggestions as they pile up, and just run the checker after you finish writing. This works much more like the familiar desktop computer spell checkers, and can be used no only on the current text, but any existing text. I installed Grammarly and used it to check an already written article in Ulysses, for example, and it worked just great.
It won’t let you ignore a mistake, though. If you dismiss a suggestion, then that suggestion will reappear if you run the checker again. Almost perfect is fantastic.
I’ve only just started using it and I’m already impressed at how well-designed it is. Writing with Grammarly means I don’t have to correct as I write, which is how I usually work on iOS because the spelling corrections tools are better suited to that than they are to reviewing after you’re done. It’s not perfect — it wanted to correct my mis-typed “you’re dine” in the previous sentence to “you dine,” instead of “you’re done.” The suggested corrections line up, ready to be confirmed. Photo: Cult of Mac That’s not as annoying as the keyboard itself though.
As you can see in the screenshots, the keyboard has wider keys than the standard iPad keyboard. This may be fine on the regular-sized iPad, but on the 13-inch iPad Pro it is impossible to use. The keys are too wide, and you miss out on the extra numbers row, and fast access to symbol keys.
The iPad’s neat two-finger cursor mode, which turns the keyboard into a temporary trackpad, is also missing. Software keybaords only Also, Grammarly doesn’t work with external keyboards.
Some third-party keyboards present their special extra row at the bottom of the screen, even when an external keyboard is connected, causing the main software keyboard to be hidden. Grammarly doesn’t support this, so you can’t use its on-the-fly corrections with a hardware keyboard. Grammarly is free to use, with a subscription for pro features.
These features include plagiarism checks to compare your work to existing writing on the web, as well as extended grammar and vocabulary checks, and genre-specific writing styles. The pro version costs up to $30 per month, though, so it’s definitely not for everyone. And remember, you need to give it full access to your keyboard input, so make sure to research the developer before using it. Price: $free Download: from the App Store (iOS).
