[Chimera-users] Question regarding 2dlabels in Chimera

[Greg Couch]

An alternative is to use unicode subscript and superscript characters.  
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts. 
You should be able to copy & paste what you need from that web page.  
With the caveat that Chimera's label font doesn't support all of those 
characters.

For example:

     2dlabels create l1 xpos .5 ypos .5 text hello¹

works.
