print composer. If you set the label format to „custom“, you get to
„Expression based annotation“ box where you can build expressions for
formatting, e.g. concat(left(@grid_number,3) ,  '<sup>E'). That works fine
in the editor and the footnote preview shows exactly the desired result (E
as an above positioned little index). But, in the map composer canvas, the
format string is rendered as text, that means <sup>E shows up as a text
string there.

Not currently - there's no support for formatting in the coordinate text.
