1.
The superscript feature is available in the comment box
- the "Superscript" icon on the "Formatting" bar
So why use this "insert special character" method?
Aesthetic considerations?

2.
The behaviour described - a character added to the beginning
of the comment box - exactly matches the description given in
the Bugzilla Issue 119117 "3.3.0 Writer/note character insertion".

3.
The question: where was/is that "0" in the "Special characters" dialog?

- U+00B2: "Superscript Two" and U+00B9: "Superscript One"
- U+00BA: "Masculine Ordinal Indicator" - it may resemble "zero"
  and it is located near characters
  "Superscript One" and "Superscript Two"
- U+2070: "Superscript Zero" resides much further down the table
  of special characters.

4.
The "Superscript Zero" fits nicely in
"Superscript One" and "Superscript Two".
The zero-like "Masculine Ordinal Indicator" may or may not fit
(font-wise).

5.
The character "Masculine Ordinal Indicator" will be marked
by the Autospellcheck. The context menu offers some letters
as corrections - that's what the bug report states.

See also the attached .pdf file.


IMO this is not a bug
(tested with version 4.1.1 and 4.1.12
 on Windows 7 & 11)
