I think this is one of the few cases where Multicode may have
advantages over Unicode. In a mathematical contest, aⁿ would be
interpreted as _a_ applied _n_ times. As to "fⁿ", ambiguity may be
avoided by the superscript being inappropriate for an exponent. What
is redundant in one context may be significant in another.
