superscript in Java String

Question

Does Java String supports superscript in a String? If yes then how can I use it, I have searched the web and also the API but not able to figure out how I can use it for my purpose

Although this will be printed on the webpage, I cannot use the html tag here, any suggestions please

Answer 1

Check out java.text.AttributedString, which supports subscripts and more. e.g., in your paintComponent() you could go:

   public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
      super.paintComponent(g);
      AttributedString as = new AttributedString("I love you 104 gazillion");
      as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SUPERSCRIPT, TextAttribute.SUPERSCRIPT_SUPER, 13, 14);
      as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.RED, 2, 6);
      g.drawString(as.getIterator(), 20, 20);
   }
