How do I format a single character as superscript in an Excel for Mac text cell?

How do I format a single character as superscript in an Excel cell formatted for text (such as kg2 where the 2 is a superscript character)? When I tried to format just the character in the entry field it formats all of the text to superscript.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

I found a response that said to edit the field and put the cursor before the character you want to superscript (or subscript).

Press Option + Enter and split the entry into 2 lines.
Highlight the character(s) you want to superscript and right click.
Check the superscript box.
Place the cursor back in front of the superscripted character(s)
Hit backspace to delete the new line
