Is this possible in AutoCAD? Pls, help!

Hello all!
Can anyone hint me on how to write superscript in AutoCAD. For example, how do I write squared metre in CAD. Your contri will be appreciated.
Cheers!

I would use MTEXT.
Type in the dialog box ...
(for example)
box2/
Highlight "2/"
The "a/b" icon should NOW be selectable.
The text should now appear "superscript" w/ an underline.
2
box-
It's the only thing I can think of ... sorry.
Another way might be to insert a symbol but that requires findind a FONT (TTF) that has superscripts as symbols.

type in the meters say 3...use the mtext command...
"3 2^_"... this is 3(space)2(carat)...
edit it...highlight the 2 and the carat...
The "a/b" icon should NOW be selectable.
then the text looks like 3 ²...backspace the ²...
then it looks like this 3²

you rock
Except you don't need the space ....
"32^" ... 3(no space)2(carat)...
highlight 2^
and select "a/b" icon .....

If I do this setting and someone else opens my file, do they see these symbols?
If not, do they need to setup the same settings?
And if so, doesn't that make it cumbersome? (Especially if I send the files to a client.)
I don't mean to sound negative but the question needs to be asked.
Thanks in advance.
