Say that you want to show 3 squared, 32
• In Pages -
Enter the numbers 32
Highlight the 2
Go to the Format menu, Font > Baseline > Superscript
This will raise the 2 and make it smaller
If you want to make the 2 appear higher, select it, the go to the Format menu > Font > Baseline > Raise
• In Mail -
In a message window, enter the numbers 32
Highlight the number 2
Go to the Edit menu and select Special Characters...
In the Character screen, in the lower right should be displayed variants for the number 2 (which is why you highlighted the 2 before going here). Double-click the appropriate one, probably the one in the upper right of the array offered.
This should convert the highlight 2 in the message to a superscript 2.

In Pages you can also superscript anything by selecting the character and going to Format > Font > Baseline
To Captfred:
Clear, quick and to the point.

The characters menu that is activated with "ctrl+cmd+space" allows access to a "superscript 2" or square root symbol (²).
Check if the "Digits — All" category isn't in the left-hand column, click the gear icon, then select this category — adding it to the list.
This category is having square root symbol (²)....Then you can add the this, in "Digits — All", to Favorites, so you can access it a little more quickly.
Just double click it to place into your text.
