A:
alt text is just normal text, you can try to insert unicode supertext characters:
Value¹⁰
but it will depend on the font of the viewer (and proper encoding) if it works

A:
You can't; alt text only supports plain text without formatting.
However, you can fake it with Unicode characters. (¹⁰)

A:
Like the knittl and SLaKs said, try unicode character html entities.

Result: ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰
Bigger: ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰
Though, for the sake of readability, you might just want to do something like 10^1234.
Or, for citations, whatever[1].

+1 I agree on the readability comment. I'd be surprised if screen readers could make sense of the alternatives.

What is the means of this `10^1234`? you mean i should write like this Value^10 and user will understand "10" is superscript.

@jitendra: Use `value^10` if it means "to-the-10th-power", use something like `value[10]` or `value (see #10)` if it means "see footnote #10". Remember alt-text is used when the image is not available, and should provide semantics not typographical features.
