Unicode / RTF / Datagridview / SQL

[LeonR]

Ok, I have a bit of an awkward problem...Basically to cut it short, data that I need to store in a couple of columns within SQL need to contain some superscript, it will be alphanumeric, it's not just the usual mathematic related symbols.
The Greek symbols work fine (alpha, beta using nvarchar etc).

Now, I can type what I need into the richtextbox, but obviously updating the datagridview means I will loose my superscript.

So to cut it short, are my only options...

1.) to save as RTF and get all the junk in the SQL database and then add richtextbox objects to all my cells?
2.) find a 3rd party datagridview?

I assume that all superscript letters are stored in RTF between all applications and there are no unicode character codes that I can use for 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'? (but obviously they need to be raised and smaller).

Cheers for any help, I know it's a bit of a tricky one!

Unicode subscripts and superscripts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the Unicode standard defines complete sub- and super-scripts for numbers and common mathematical symbols, full superscript Latin lowercase alphabet except q, ...

So you can use a unicode font, and find some way to ease superscript input to the relevant font characters.

That would be ideal, but I can't find normal letters in unicode, it's bugging me!

I may write a program to display all of the unicode characters and find them that way?!
