I cannot locate anywhere on the iOS keyboard the small "2" symbol to denote square footage next to and above "ft". Oddly, if you dictate to the phone say "5000 square feet" it WILL insert the symbol, so it MUST be possible to type it somehow, I just have not been able to find it. Any help from the community would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Jim! I dictated into Pages on my iPhone "square feet" to get the ft.² symbol, copied that and created a shortcut in the keyboard prefs section. Perfect! :)
It can done, for example, square meters=m².
It requires either creating shortcuts like ^2=²
Or creating a template using word or another word processor that can create superscripts and using that to create a template for the iPad Pages app.
You can also now dictate this into Pages or Notes on macbook or iMac so you are not required to dictate it into your phone and eMail or AirDrop it to your main computer. Hmmm .. need to see if it works on evernote!
PS-dictate is freely available in MAC if you set a cursor on a type-able page and hit the fn key twice (sometimes there is a pause tho') - I use a small mic with a separate power supply - CR2016 - battery
That's called superscript and AFAIK, it can't be done on an iOS device. You could just dictate it, then copy/paste it somewhere else.
How can I type the sq ft symbol in iOS?
