[Tutor] small graphics question

[Rudy Matela]

Hi Nathan,

Maybe this is not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe you can
use Unicode
characters
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts> for
that:

* superscripts
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts>: x⁰,
x¹, x², x³, x⁴, x⁵, x⁶, x⁷, x⁸, x⁹, for example: 2³²
* vulgar fractions
<https://unicode-search.net/unicode-namesearch.pl?term=FRACTION>: ½, ¼, ¾,
⅕, ⅙, etc...

Since Python supports Unicode (and possibly wx python), you can use these
in regular Python strings:

$ python
>>> print("2³² + ½")
2³² + ½

Best Regards,
Rudy
