How do you Type up an Exponent on a iPad Air?

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.

Bob, that looks good! Did you type it on an iPad? How did you manage to do it?

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.

Very nicely done. Thanks, Bob! I'm sure the original poster will appreciate your explanation as well.

Long ago I saw a similar question and made a keyboard short cut. Let's see if it posts.

I can see it, let's see if it posts in the ASC.

Edit. That doesn't look half bad if I do say so myself. 🙂

You're welcome. Glad to help. 🙂
