Interesting question. But no, there is no designated format or way for an author to indicate uncertainty as to spelling or format, etc. on the contrary, designated and commonly accepted formats to indicate spelling or grammatical errors in the source text of quoted materials does exist. Hopefully that helps. If not, please touch base and I’ll try to explain further.
