Mq question was to display the notation x superscript 2 as written down in paper.

I am afraid you are totally off-topic. This is not a database problem, it is a 
character set problem. Check the character set you are using, there may be, among 
those weird characters outside the 'usual' ranges, a tiny little 2 hanging up. Note 
down the character number, say n, and store 'x' || chr(n). I remember a colleague who 
15 years back or so was storing characters which were drawing a little 'Snoopy' 
character on his VT220. I must add immediately that storing this is a very bad idea, 
for the simple reason that Oracle can perform some automatic character set translation 
(think of exp/imp or how you can specify the character set on a client). You are 
fishing for trouble. Store it as 'x ** 2' and everybody will understand.
