I suggest using a symbol, for example, to type 4 squared, instead of trying to type 4², simply type 4^2.


If you have an external iPad keyboard, this may be of use.

Thank you sberman. On my iPad. I'm pretty sure it was you who answered the question that got me curious if it's do-able so I'll be glad to share.

1 Copy the 4² from here or my post above.

2 Go to settings> general> keyboard> text replacement> tap the + sign. Paste the 4² in top row. Remove the 4. I used sq as my shortcut. Tap save.

When printing a space must be left between the number and the squared or the iPad won't read it as a shortcut.
