Thanks, now I can read it.

I don't really mind (as I don't use footnote-mode), but this will look
quite ugly if the default font doesn't have the Unicode superscript
characters.  In that case, Emacs will use a different font to draw
just the Unicode characters, which will result in 1, 2, and 3 drawn a
bit lower than the other digits, or wider, or both.  Depending on the
default font, it could also be that 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 will be
drawn taller than the others.

Are we willing to bet that the default font is a Unicode font for most
users?  If not, perhaps at least some caveat in the doc string is in
order.
