Something small that has always baffled me about unicode. Why isn't there a subscript and superscript composing character?

This is madness:

I suppose that the answer is that there are many different types of sub and superscripts, and that sometimes you want, e.g., the subscript version of a character to look slightly different, but don't we already have support for ligatures in fonts for exactly that reason?
