How about a single "superscript" and "subscript" modifier that handles any of the other Unicode symbols?

The standard already has enough formatting options to make smartphones crash by sending them a text message(as could be seen multiple times on both Android and iOS).

If you think the unicode committee made the right call, please explain why the decision to add smiling cat pictures and over 10 heart symbols was correct but not supporting everyday maths notation.
