In such cases my preferred tool is a search engine...

...which found me an example for the rich text here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53156000/superscript-in-wxpython-richtextctrl

I also verified that unicode superscript codepoints are displayed
correctly by changing the line

st = wx.StaticText(pnl, label="Hello World!")

in helloworld2.py on

https://www.wxpython.org/pages/overview/#hello-world

to

         st = wx.StaticText(
             pnl, label=
             "Hello World!\N{SUPERSCRIPT ONE}"
             "\N{SUPERSCRIPT TWO}\N{SUPERSCRIPT THREE}"
         )
