how can we use superscript and subscript text in flutter Text or RichText

Solution 1:

You need to use Unicode. Here is the Unicode got from this answer:

unicode_map = {
         #           superscript     subscript
        '0'        : ('\u2070',   '\u2080'      ),
        '1'        : ('\u00B9',   '\u2081'      ),
        '2'        : ('\u00B2',   '\u2082'      ),
        '3'        : ('\u00B3',   '\u2083'      ),
        '4'        : ('\u2074',   '\u2084'      ),
        '5'        : ('\u2075',   '\u2085'      ),
        '6'        : ('\u2076',   '\u2086'      ),

        '8'        : ('\u2078',   '\u2088'      ),
        '9'        : ('\u2079',   '\u2089'      ),

        '+'        : ('\u207A',   '\u208A'      ),
        '-'        : ('\u207B',   '\u208B'      ),

    }

And for cut-and-paste purposes (from here):

Solution 2:

You can make use of offset property in WidgetSpan. I have used the below code to show flight cross overs. The Offset dx and dy values helps you to set superscript or subscript as per your need.

RichText(
  text: TextSpan(children: [
    TextSpan(
        text: '9:30 - 2:30',
        style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black)),
    WidgetSpan(
      child: Transform.translate(
        offset: const Offset(2, -4),
        child: Text(
          '+2',
          //superscript is usually smaller in size
          textScaleFactor: 0.7,
          style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),
        ),
      ),
    )
  ]),
)

I found this. But I tried it didn't work with my code. But may be it going to help you

    Text(
  'Superscript',
  style: TextStyle(
    fontFeatures: [
      FontFeature.enable('sups'),
    ],
  ),
)
