You can format any number as a subscript by selecting and pressing Ctrl+= or
using Format | Font: Subscript.

I think the description you meant is either "subscript" (a small
character placed lower than the regular text) or "superscript" (a
small character placed higher than the regular text).

Most common fonts contain only the few superscript characters you've
already found, at decimal ASCII codes 178, 179, 185, and 186.

Several of the large Unicode fonts (Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans
Unicode) contain full sets of superscript and subscript numbers in the
hexadecimal Unicode ranges 2070 to 2089. If you get the Office 2007
Beta Compatibility Pack
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/converter.mspx) you'll
also find these characters in the Cambria Math font.

You can assign a shortcut key to each character, or create AutoCorrect
entries for them. See
