Yes, it seems so.  I checked the unicode standard version 14.0
superscript and subscript character code table.  And - indeed - below
subscripts aren't described.

b_b, c_c, d_d, f_f, g_g, q_q, w_w, y_y, z_z

but when I'm putting above sequence in an org-mode buffer and typing M-x
org-toogle-pretty-entities it seems that org-mode manages to display
these unicode subscripts!  And it works for me on Windows and Gnu-Linux.
