Well, there is a "x-¹" button which does the same as Ctrl+I…

Yes, I agree. As I said before, the documentation says that it is
possible to enter "asin" which does however not work. So what about
making the report specifically about this issue (and suggest arcsin
instead of/in addition to "asin" which is more a programming language
name)?

Actually I do think it is ok as it is, IMO most people will read
sin⁻¹(x) as arcsin and sin²(x) as the square of the function value --
to me the latter always felt "more wrong" (why not just write sin(x)²
?).
