No. If there were, it would in practice appear in the SUPERSCRIPTS AND
SUBSCRIPTS block, but it isn't there. There is SUPERSCRIPT FULL STOP defined
in the Adobe glyph list, but it has not been encoded in Unicode.

Usually when you want to use such expressions, you are not writing plain
text but e.g. using a word processor or a publishing program or creating a
web page. In those cases, you can use "higher level protocols" to specify
superscripts.
