Hi, Firstly this is an excellent extension ! However raising "a to power of phi (n)" doesn't works a ^ { \Phi(n) } Same code works on codecoggs webpage. Can you please check.

This extension works by converting TeX text to Unicode text. Superscripts are problematic because many characters do not have a superscript representation in Unicode, for example, there is no superscript q in Unicode, and most Greek letters do not have one. Therefore this issue is unsolvable. The supported characters are listed in this wikipedia page.

Thanks for a quick reply, can you suggest any workaround ?

This IPA symbol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_bilabial_fricative) looks very similar to Phi, maybe you do make do with it?
