Unicode sub/superscripts aren't real sub/superscripts, and there use is
discouraged. Most fonts will align those subscript glyphs to the base
line not bellow it, and apparently LM fonts don't have them.

I think there is a way to use ConTeXt commands inside verbatim
environments, but I don't recall it.

 Khaled
