This has been a problem for several people.

asked for subscript 2 & superscript -1.
I personally also have a need for
superscript 2 , as in "BMI (kg/m2)" and
Greek mu , as in "?mol/L".

& Nick Cox echoed the need.


I have found a partial solution:
In MS Word, choose "Insert" * "Symbol"  from the Edit menu.
Then select font Arial and subset Latin-1.
Select "superscript 2" from the display & insert into the text.
Copy & paste into your Stata command as needed.
The same technique works for
"Greek mu" (subset Basic Greek or Latin-1)
"superscript -1" ("-" : subset Spacing modifier letters;
        "1" : subset Latin-1.)

Unfortunately, this only works for certain special characters.
The only superscript numerals are 0 1 2 3, and letters "n" or "TM".
There are no subscripts at all.
