check if a string has superscript character in it using javascript

I want to check if or not a string has superscript characters. I am actually reading a pdf file, and I want to check whether the read string has some superscript characters in it.

If the superscripts and subscripts are done with Unicode rather than PDF markup, most of the codepoints you want are likely in the block \u2070-\u2090, plus a couple of extras:

var subscripts = /[\u2070-\u209F\u00B2\u00B3\u00B9]/;
var target = "foo¹";
target.match(subscripts);

output:

[ '¹', index: 3, input: 'foo¹' ]
