How to add superscript to Label text in Javafx 8

I am writing my first JavaFX application and I cannot find how to make some of the text in a Label to be superscript.

In Swing it was easy enough to use HTML tags, but this option is not available in JavaFX.

I have searched through many of the api's including Label, Font, TextFlow, Oracle docs and samples, and the internet in general.

Thank you.

  • The WebView is more flexible, but, depending upon which font you are using and the content of the superscript, there are Unicode superscript characters such as U+00B2 for the superscript 2.
