[Qgis-user] custom string formatting for grid coordinate labels

[Andrew Harfoot]

Hi Uwe,

If you can't use formatting tags, then possibly Unicode is your friend 
here - have a look at characters U1D31 and U1D3A - superscript E and N 
respectively. Using these should allow you to generate labels like this: 
0234ᴱ  or 345389ᴺ

Cheers,

Andy
