*Superscripts are not supported by earlier Mac browsers because of variations in the Mac coding system. The soft hyphen (­) is not supported by all browsers.
**The series from  through ™ had been reserved for future use, and some older charts jump to  . The lower numbers still appear as "unused" in many charts. Though these numbers have been assigned, not all of the characters in this series are fully supported.
