The Unicode Standard[1] recommends against the use of superscript modifier letters to represent stylistically superscript text.[2]

Julie D. Allen et al. (editors), The Unicode Standard: Version 6.0 – Core Specification (February 2011, Unicode Consortium, →ISBN, chapter 7: “European Alphabetic Scripts”, § 7.8: ‘Modifier Letters’, page 229:
Superscript modifier letters are intended for cases where the letters carry a specific meaning, as in phonetic transcription systems, and are not a substitute for generic styling mechanisms for superscripting of text, as for footnotes, mathematical and chemical expressions, and the like.
