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.
