Superscript works well, but not the subscript:

x³ x₃

Unicode sub/superscripts aren't real sub/superscripts, and there use is
discouraged. Most fonts will align those subscript glyphs to the base
line not bellow it, and apparently LM fonts don't have them.
In MKIV one could theoretically fix the (virtual) font with subscript
three containing "\sub{3}" *** or "lowered superscript 3" :)
it's also font dependent and we would en dup with fallback mess etc etc
if the font has the glyph, you can use the unicode char, bu tit is
unlikely that there will be a mapping mechanism
What about an analog of "ucs" LaTeX package,
when Unicode math subscripts (and other symbols) in TeX file are replaced
by "\sub{3}" etc., regardless of the font used for typesetting?
It will give WYSIWYG-like appearance of the input file on the screen
in the editor using Unicode font and will not bring the mess deep into
ConTeXt?
Is such thing doable?
(Not making a set of mappings for presonal use, but proper package
for public consumption?)
