Yes, we are supposed to follow the print version, but when writing numbers
with "th" "rd" etc. you do not put them in superscript. These are referred to
as ordinal endings. You do you the contraction for them if possible. I looked
this up in the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing 4th ed - 14.1d

It is in a book I am doing for pleasure reading for a child. I was always
told we needed to follow the print version of the book, that is why I am
asking. For my part I don't think it is all that important in this case to
leave it without the superscript.

as in the 28th of the month? Is it really important that it's in
superscript - is it for a reason? If not, and if it just follows the print
format, then personally I wouldn't worry about it and just translate it as
normal. The only superscript sign I know if is the "ing" sign, but that's for
maths.
HTH.

I looked under codes to find the sign for a superscript but I didn't
understand it.
I need to write 28 with the superscript th after the 8. How do I do
that in print within the Duxbury program?
