If font attributes report is enabled in Document Formatting settings, NVDA
reads superscript and subscript in Word documents but not in HTML documents.

Subject: [WebAIM] superscript

Hi all,

during testing yesterday, I noticed that NVDA reads a superscript number,
coded using the html sup tag, as just part of the whole number. For
example: 2<sup>2</sup> is read as twenty two. Google searches tell me that
JAWS reads them the same way. Is that true?

There are three html entities for the common superscript numbers (1, 2, and
3), but what to do with any others so they're read correctly?

Thanks,
Mike
