Thanks for your reply. I think actually LaTeX is not a good option for our purpose, because we want to create and disseminate datasets which are easy to use and do not require any software or special font installation. Thus, we’ll live with the little bit uglier version.
Anyway, thanks!
Thomas

Hallo Thomas,
 
Unicode delegates this (combined superscripts and subscripts) to higher level markup languages or Rich Text Editors.
 
I don't know how widespread the use of LateX is among geologists, but notation like this is a perfect use case for LaTeX.

Hi, I would like to ask if there is any way to create geological “symbols” with Unicode such as: Q₁¹ˉ², but with the two “1”s over each other, without a space. Thanks!
