Question How to use a subscript and a super script while printing a character
I want to print a output after executing a awk command

How to represent a subscript or a superscript while using print command

Code:
eg : Ts.  where character 's' is subscript of T 
       T2 where '2' is the superscript of T


thank you.

If you're printing HTML you can use tags.

If you're trying to display on a character terminal you're probably out of luck unless it's a unicode terminal, and even then, it'd mean having to translate each individual sub-scripted character into the UTF8 code representing it before you print.

im not using it for HTML, its to display a character on the terminal. Is there any other work around to achieve this

Not really. A character terminal displays fixed-size, fixed-width characters by definition; you can't selectively resize certain bits. Change colors, yes, change size, no. The unicode subscript characters are about as good as you can get for a genuine representation of subscripts in a terminal.
