I am writing these documents, where I have to write 4±3, but + being at the top, not at the side and minus being below the plus.

I bet Microsoft has cracked this issue.
What has this do with the issue? it’s irrelevant comment meant to create some emotional response, with no supporting evidence or value.
Perhaps OP may find that other software more nearly meets their needs as it seems LO falls short in several ways, in their eyes.
I bet Microsoft has cracked this issue.
The only issue I see here is that you are a semi-literate luser that doesn’t know very basic things. How is Microsoft supposed to crack it?
No software, no user, and no organisation of standardisation (like the Unicode Consortium) can heal all the nonsense and poisonous confusion of the Babylonian type introduced over milennia of handwritten codices and even more confused in a brillant way since the invention of the typewriter and the keyboard.
Moreover I would judge the “I bet Microsoft has cracked this issue.” to be intended a “cum grano ioci”.

Well - what was here prior to the last change was not an “example” - it was some wild guess without any value. Writing “In MSO, I do this and that” or “this link tells how that is implemented in MSO” is helpful; writing “I bet MSO does it right” is totally unhelpful.
Old days of me shitposting in forums to learn something. Now I know how the community works & how LibreOffice works, thanks for everything. I love LO. It’s free and open source. I know more things because of the use of extreme usage/dependence in LO.
Hi

The auto-correction mechanism will replace… (see Tools▸AutoCorrect▸AutoCorrect Options▸Replace tab)

The best option
@mikekaganski Thank you. However, it can sometimes conflict with local settings (such as adding an unbreakable space in French before specific punctuation, the":" in particular)
The best option
Not really, although a very good one. The best option (if you need it often) is to simply assign the desired character to a key/key combination using the respective features of the operating system or desktop environment. This will produce the desired character in other applications as well. Mine is AltGr+=.
Wow, I didn’t notice this. Thanks a lot.
Simply b1 then Alt+X is enough.
Simply b1 then Alt+X is enough
In simple cases yes - but this has a potential for a problem, if the b1 immediately follows something that may be confused as part of the Unicode character code (like 2 then immediately b1 then Alt+X would combine 2b1 into ʱ).
In cases of the kind, whether simple or not, prefixing the U+ (or a sloppy u+) would disambiguate everything.
U+b1 will correctly transform to ± on Alt+X, and will reversely transform/complete on the next Alt+X to U+00b1
One more option (for users of a good operating system, of course): Compose + - or Compose - +.
One solution is to underline the plus sign ( + ).
