org-mode superscript and subscripts

org-mode superscript and subscripts

[abhinav.predicate]

I was using org mode and wanted to get some text in superscripts and subscripts but whenever is use _ or ^, the text is just concatenated :
like when I type abc_def and use "C-c C-x \" to go to UTF8 display, I get abcdef,
same for subscripts, 
can someone please tell me what is wrong here ?

You might try asking the org mode list:

Concatenation of "a" and "2" is expected when writing "a^2" but
the "2" should be both smaller and higher on the line.

If you don't see this, I guess this is a problem with your Emacs
display.  A picture would help understanding what happens.

Best,
