Semantics
One or more subscripted characters.
Additional info from the ARIA specification
See related superscript.
The subscript role is intended to be used only to mark up typographical conventions that have specific meanings; not for typographical presentation for presentation's sake. In general, authors SHOULD use this role only if the absence of the subscript would change the meaning of the content.
