Subscript and Superscript a String in Android

Question

How can you print a string with a subscript or superscript? Can you do this without an external library? I want this to display in a TextView in Android.

Answer 1

Based on Gerardo's answer here I created this extension on Int

fun Int.toSuperScript(): String {
    return when (this) {
        0 -> "\u2070"
        1 -> "\u00B9"
        2 -> "\u00B2"
        3 -> "\u00B3"
        4 -> "\u2074"
        5 -> "\u2075"
        6 -> "\u2076"
        7 -> "\u2077"
        8 -> "\u2078"
        9 -> "\u2079"
        else -> ""
}

}
