I noticed that every lowercase letter in the English alphabet can be used as a super script, except q. E.g. typing
```julia
julia> \^abcdefghijklmnop
```
and then pressing _tab_ gives
```julia
julia> ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖ
```
I can do the same with the letters r-z:
```julia
julia> \^rstuvwxyz
julia> ʳˢᵗᵘᵛʷˣʸᶻ
```
But I can’t convert `\^q` via tab completion. The character appears fine when I copy and paste it from another source ([Unicode subscripts and superscripts - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts)). Is there a reason why superscripted q is not supported? It seems like a weird exclusion to me, when every other lowercase English letter is supported.
(I am using Julia Version 1.11.4)

That character famously does not exist in Unicode.

Wow, I had no idea. I can’t believe that we don’t have superscript q in unicode when we have a coral emoji.
Thanks!

What about
```julia
julia> '𐞥'
'𐞥': Unicode U+107A5 (category Lm: Letter, modifier)
```
?

Wow, apparently [U+107A5](https://codepoints.net/U+107A5?lang=en) and [U+a7f4](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/a7f4/index.htm) were finally added in Unicode 14? I don’t seem to have any fonts that support them, though.

If you’re hunting glyphs in the remote corners of the Unicode jungle, probably the best fonts to have installed are:
- Fairfax HD [KreativeKorp/OpenRelay on Github](https://github.com/kreativekorp/open-relay)
- Iosevka [Iosevka on Github](https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka)
- JuliaMono [JuliaMono on Github](https://github.com/cormullion/juliamono)
I think all are frequently updated, and will accept requests via issues and PRs. 😉

Current status:
- Fairfax HD has both the lowercase (107A5) and uppercase (A7F4) version
- Iosevka has neither
- JuliaMono has the uppercase version and an open issue for the lowercase: [Missing Superscript Characters from Latin Extended Blocks · Issue #176 · cormullion/juliamono · GitHub](https://github.com/cormullion/juliamono/issues/176)
