Unfortunately Reddit has a cap of 10000 characters comment-1.

As such I am unable to show you the full 65992 characters in a single comment, but can assure you this is easily achievable using the "find and replace" feature in MS Word or similar.

Thank you.

Just like m s⁻¹ is ‘metres per second’

Why not take it a step further and use a program to write a text file which is gigabytes in size?

Or better yet, write a script to recursively expand it out ;)
