Any chance to get a superscript directly on top of subscript in Unicode?
Unicode provides subscripts and superscripts, so I can do this:
x²
And this:
x₅
However, combining these two I get:
x²₅ or x₅²
Which looks badly.

No. You need to use a math formatting program.

Out of interest what are you using the notation to mean? "x²₅ or x₅²" would ordinarily mean different things. Other than chemical elements I can't readily recall seeing that notation?

Your issue is not with Unicode but with the font you use. Technically, every font could use negative kerning to move subsequent super- and subscripts on top of each other. One font that does this is Linux Libertine (if you put the subscript first):
On the other hand, this is quite rare. Even STIX, which is specifically designed with mathematical typesetting in mind, does not have this feature.
