the power displays as a normal character 2. is this a
dpkg-reconfigure locales issue?
It could also be due to the browser not copying certain characters
correctly to the clipboard.
Let's start at the beginning, which output do you get from this command:
locale
If you use an utf8-based locale, e.g. "en_US.UTF-8", then the following
command should print the numbers 1-5 in superscript:
echo -e "\xc2\xb9\xc2\xb2\xc2\xb3\xe2\x81\xb4\xe2\x81\xb5"
What do you get?
In xfce terminal, it works perfectly. In urxvt (with font
fixed-medium), the ^4 is weird looking, but pasting it into
Iceweasel makes it look correct.
~$ echo -e "\xc2\xb9\xc2\xb2\xc2\xb3\xe2\x81\xb4\xe2\x81\xb5"
