I recently had a helpful exchange with Pat Naughten about the difficulty of
producing the SI symbols for square metre and cubic metre and others in email
messages.
He had a suggestion that works on my iMac but I have no way of knowing if the
exponents I type (which appear correctly on MY computer) will show up correctly
on other people's computers (particularly on non-Apple computers).
For any of you who have a moment to reply, I'd be interested in knowing if the
following example appears correct on your computer (with the exponents 2, and 3
appearing as smaller raised digits as is needed).
Here is the example:
"The cubic metre symbol is m³ and the square metre symbol is m²."
