Superscript Six Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Superscript Six because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2076, which you can use as ⁶ in HTML, \2076 in CSS, or type with Alt+8310 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Superscript Six is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2076 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Superscript Six has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⁶ or the hex escape ⁶.
