Typing for maths.
How do I type x squared without writing 'squared'?
Especially useful as it took 3 attempts to get the letters in the correct order.
Thank you.

To get the ² symbol:
I did it the complicated way. I typed ac or even (ac)
Then I went into word, then insert, found the symbol for squared put it into the word document and then copied and pasted. I'm sure there is an easier way but I'm not an expert.....at anything.So this is what you end up with and I've been on the Baileys.
ac² (ac)²
I needed to find it as I have been making up maths papers for my daughter.
