I don't know of any computer programming language up to and within
FORTRAN's generation of languages that did or does use superscripts.
Some higher (upper generation) languages such as MathCAD and Mathematica
might perhaps use superscripts, though.
In fact, computer languages are the source o

I can find no examples of engineering (E) notation in the SI Brochure.
All of their examples are in terms of scientific notation (×10). NIST SP
811 prefers scientific notation.
Apart from that, Gene's preference might be fine for engineers and
scientists, but I cannot imagine it being used in
