i would just use a different-looking notation entirely, or just switch to the more powerful up-arrow notation.

it translates to up-arrow notation like so: a^(n)b = a^a^a^ ... (2^n a's) ... ^a^b, or a^b#(2^n) using hyper-e notation.

also, you don't need to use parentheses when noting power towers. expressions of the form a^b^c^ ... z solve from right to left (e.g. a^b^c^d = a^(b^(c^d)) ) unless parentheses tell you otherwise.
