I don't know what the conversion tool does with those particular characters,
but as a general rule, fixing is good. How are these characters currently
represented in the scan? The answer to that may help to determin what is
best.
I would think that braille would use the numbers that are superscript, but I
don't know if the superscript nature of the numbers would be indicated. I
think braille would just ignore the fact that the numbers were superscript
like it ignores all other font styles.
I don't know what exactly a macron is for, so I can't help there.
In the daisy file, I would think all characters would be preserved, so
accuracy would be ideal.
