Regardless of how it is achieved, it is called a "drop cap" or "dropped capital."

Your example without any other context suggests it is a sloppy hack to emulate the effect without having proper control of e.g. baseline offset caused by: ignorance; aesthetic choice; lack of software support; all of the above.

Normally, there would be one drop cap at the start of a paragraph only and usually only one per chapter or section. The fact that there are several in-line suggest an aesthetic choice.

  You'll be relieved to know that I copied and pasted some text superscript and pasted it into a document and the text was typing out in what you see above. That design is not out there in the wild.
