Subscripts/superscripts in Wolfram Cloud

To write a subscript in a textbox in the desktop version of Mathematica, all you had to press was Ctrl + -. For the Wolfram Cloud, this does not work and I cannot find any way to write a subscript or superscript in a textbox to display like it would on the desktop version. Does anyone know how to do this?

Try evaluating Subscript[a,x].

The keyboard shortcuts won't work in a browser. I don't believe there's a button to do this either.

As a final piece of advice, don't use Subscripts in code. Always, in every programming language, use descriptive variable names. Traditional math notation is (almost always) not good programming notation.

If you chose to ignore this warning, please see these examples which explain more on the semantics of Subscripts:
