Is there a trick to this, or do I just need to make small text and cobble it
together by hand?

Is it possible to get these characters to display in the message window?  I
think there are some character sets with these "built-in", but I'm not sure
about how to manipulate the font.

You need to do it the same way as all text rendering software does it:
The hard way.

While there are some characters for which the Unicode standard provides
superscript and subscript versions (most notably all decimal digits),
super-/subscript versions of latin letters are only available for a
quite random subset.

A few character sets might happen to provide additional super- and
subscript glyphs as part of their "Private Use Area", but as the name
already suggests, this part of the Unicode character set is entirely
unregulated, and may literally contain /anything/ and use /any/ mapping.

YAY!    :|


I actually just found
Insert > Special Shapes > 3D text shapes > unicode math
and will explore that.  It might do what I want.
