H/t to Sung Kim (again) for asking the question and pushing me to find a better solution. This may not look as pretty as a the actual superscript / subscript when looking at the markdown, but it is mighty handy.

The data being passed to MySQL is the origination of the issue, but the issue is being reported in MySQL. This is powerful because it allows the blending of Markdown and HTML - which in my case means that I can use a tag to easily add words in superscript without needing to select the characters one at a time from a symbols keyboard. I had similar issues trying to insert the registered trademark symbol, I was getting an incorrect string value from MySQL with the BOM listed. The will compile the markdown into HTML, which means that valid HTML within the body of the file will be respected. Examples of compilers include Remark and Liquid. When writing for the web, however, it’s also possible to use a markdown compiler. 1 It’s a valid character and so Markdown will honor it.

translate every line break character in a paragraph into a
tag.

For example, using the Emoji keyboard on a Mac (or a symbol keyboard in Windows), you can insert the character you want manually. The idea is not to create a syntax that makes it easier to insert HTML tags.

The simplest, and the way I’d been doing it for months, is to use character itself. However, there are multiple strategies to adding superscript and subscript to your markdown. Markdown doesn’t support for superscript or subscript directly.
