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.
