Is there a way to write superscripts in python in a GUI?

Question

This is my current code and it displays in a window but literally prints it the way I've typed it (obviously). But is there a way to write these so they are displayed as powers/exponents? "

questionNum = 0

#SET QUESTIONS HERE

questions = [0,"Given that y = x^4 + 6x^1/2, find dy/dx","Write down the value of 125^1/3","Fully factorise 9x^2 - 25","Find the value of 8^5/3"]

answer1 = [0,"4x^4 + 3x^1/2","25","(3x-5)(3x+5)","1/2"]

answer2 = [0,"4x^3 + 6x^1/2","1/5","(3x+5)(3x+5)","Answer 2 (4)"]

answer3 = [0,"4x^3 + 6x^-1/2","5","(3x-5)(3x-5)","Answer 3 (4)"]

answer4 = [0,"4x^3 + 1/2x^-3/2","125","(9x+5)(x-5)","Answer 4 (4)"]

This is what it looks like:

rightanswers = [0,1,2,3,4]  #These are the correct answers
"

This is the bit that needs to be changed. I've added the rest just in case you need any of it to see what's going on:

from tkinter import *   #The TKinter module imported in order to create the menus
import sys  #Invoke functions and statements - allows operations to work and searches for named modules i.e. TKinter
global questionNum  #Connections between functinos and arrays

questionNum = 0
#SET QUESTIONS HERE
questions = [0,"Given that y = x^4 + 6x^1/2, find dy/dx","Write down the value of 125^1/3","Fully factorise 9x^2 - 25","Find the value of 8^5/3"]  #This is the question bank which has been set up as an array
answer1 = [0,"4x^4 + 3x^1/2","25","(3x-5)(3x+5)","1/2"]   #These are the possible answers - this is where multiple choice answers would go
answer2 = [0,"4x^3 + 6x^1/2","1/5","(3x+5)(3x+5)","Answer 2 (4)"]
answer3 = [0,"4x^3 + 6x^-1/2","5","(3x-5)(3x-5)","Answer 3 (4)"]
answer4 = [0,"4x^3 + 1/2x^-3/2","125","(9x+5)(x-5)","Answer 4 (4)"]

Answer 1

Unicode has superscript numerals, arithmetic operators, and some letters in the BMP, which is supported by tcl/tk. See Wikipedia. Within those constraints, and given a supporting font, the answer is yes. On Windows, running from IDLE, the following works nicely and looks nice, though I would want the tk font larger to see the superscript easily with my eyes.

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
# "4x^4 + 3x^1/2"
t1 = "4x\u2074 + 3x\u207b\u00b2"  # \u excapes, if needed
t2 = "4x⁴ + 3x⁻²"
label = tk.Label(root, text=t2)
label.pack()
