HTML tag in ion-input placeholder

Hi, I’m trying to use a HTML tag in placeholder, but it is not interpreting it as a tag. Any ideas how to do it ?

 <ion-input required type="text"
 placeholder="some text (ton <sup>1</sup> )"></ion-input>

I tried with utf-8 char, but with no success.

 <ion-input required type="text"
 placeholder="some text (ton &sup1; )"></ion-input>

If you don’t get any better ideas, you could try actually typing the Unicode SUPERSCRIPT ONE character directly into the source: ¹. The method for doing this is going to depend on your environment: for me, I open any GTK application (Chromium, in which I’m typing this post, being one), press C-U, b9, ENTER.
