Inserting special characters in Facebook is not always easy, but it is possible. As a rule, Facebook does not allow rich formatting in status updates and comments. However you can format text in blog entries with the Notes application. Use superscript and subscript to spell out mathematical expressions. Even if you do not need to use these in your Facebook posts, such specially formatted text can add novelty and interest to otherwise plain text postings.
