For me, understanding how to insert a superscript 2 for m² was one of those little niggly things which drags on and on because 'I will google it at some point, but just haven't gotten round to it yet'. Well, I finally got round to it and thought I'd share.
- Type m2
- Highlight the 2
- Press and hold the [Alt] key then type the figures 0178 - you must use numeric keypad.
- you should now have turned m2 into m²

Hi,
with a german Keyboard Layout this is pretty easy, just use ALT+CTRL+2, cause this is the third "function" of the key, so it's 2 , or " on shift+2 or ² on ALT+CTRL+2, maybe there is also this kind of function on different keyboard layouts
regards

Good point Björn, thank you.
It never occurred to me that this was a UK layout keyboard issue. I'll be mindful of that for future posts.
