I'm not sure I can get proper documentation on this, I've been to this tumblr help center and this discussion on Meta SO about Markdown footnotes, I saw interesting comment from Arjan that Drupal made it possible.

How can I write Markdown footnotes in Tumblr?

I tried <sup>1</sup>, which works on SE sites like so, but it doesn't work on Tumblr.

Make sure you've got Tumblr set to format your posts with Markdown here. Then, the syntax is:

That's some text with a footnote.[^1]

[^1]: And that's the footnote.

As noted here.
