NSString: Looking for Unicode for superscript: 1, 2, 3
From the character palette:
¹
SUPERSCRIPT ONE
Unicode: U+00B9, UTF-8: C2 B9
²
SUPERSCRIPT TWO
Unicode: U+00B2, UTF-8: C2 B2
³
SUPERSCRIPT THREE
Unicode: U+00B3, UTF-8: C2 B3
This, to make them in to NSStrings
, you'd do:
NSString *superscript1 = @"\u00B9";
NSString *superscript2 = @"\u00B2";
NSString *superscript3 = @"\u00B3";
I know this question has already been answered but if anyone wants to reuse my code for converting from a standard string of numbers to superscript, here it is.
-(NSString *)superScriptOf:(NSString *)inputNumber{
NSString *outp=@"";
for (int i =0; i<[inputNumber length]; i++) {
unichar chara=[inputNumber characterAtIndex:i] ;
switch (chara) {
case '1':
NSLog(@"1");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u00B9"];
break;
case '2':
NSLog(@"2");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u00B2"];
break;
case '3':
NSLog(@"3");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u00B3"];
break;
case '4':
NSLog(@"4");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2074"];
break;
case '5':
NSLog(@"5");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2075"];
break;
case '6':
NSLog(@"6");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2076"];
break;
case '7':
NSLog(@"7");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2077"];
break;
case '8':
NSLog(@"8");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2078"];
break;
case '9':
NSLog(@"9");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2079"];
break;
case '0':
NSLog(@"0");
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"\u2070"];
break;
default:
break;
}
}
return outp;
}
Given an input string of numbers it just returns the equivalent superscript string.
Edit (thanks to jrturton):
-(NSString *)superScriptOf:(NSString *)inputNumber{
NSString *outp=@"";
unichar superScripts[] = {0x2070, 0x00B9, 0x00B2,0x00B3,0x2074,0x2075,0x2076,0x2077,0x2078,0x2079};
for (int i =0; i<[inputNumber length]; i++) {
NSInteger x =[[inputNumber substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i, 1)] integerValue];
outp=[outp stringByAppendingFormat:@"%C", superScripts[x]];
}
return outp;
}
