Android String Resource Superscript

I have a string resource file, which I want to pull strings from and I want one of the strings to have some superscript in it.

From http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html it looks like the supported tags include <b>, <i>, and <u>. I'm curious if it should work for other related tags, such as <sup>... if so then my problem is solved.

Testing the above should be easy enough, I'm just looking for a deeper understanding, to see if everything is processed similar to Subscript and Superscript a String in Android or if there is extra processing that happens when pulling the strings from the resource string file.

Android String Resource Superscript and Subscript for letters

You can copy and paste any of these Superscripts and Subscripts directly into your Android String Resource.

Example:

    <string name="word_with_superscript" translatable="false">Trademark ᵀᴹ</string>

Result:Trademark ᵀᴹ

Superscript and Subscript letters

Superscript capital ᴬ ᴮ ᴰ ᴱ ᴳ ᴴ ᴵ ᴶ ᴷ ᴸ ᴹ ᴺ ᴼ ᴾ ᴿ ᵀ ᵁ ⱽ ᵂ

Superscript minuscule ᵃ ᵇ ᶜ ᵈ ᵉ ᶠ ᵍ ʰ ⁱ ʲ ᵏ ˡ ᵐ ⁿ ᵒ ᵖ ʳ ˢ ᵗ ᵘ ᵛ ʷ ˣ ʸ ᶻ

Subscript minuscule ₐ ₑ ₕ ᵢ ⱼ ₖ ₗ ₘ ₙ ₒ ₚ ᵣ ₛ ₜ ᵤ ᵥ ₓ

I am using this trick: In string resource:

<string name="text1">x!sup@2!/sup@</string>

Then in activity:

text1.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.text1).replace("!", "<").replace("@", ">")));

this trick is working.
