I am trying to use a superscript character in mail. I cannot find an answer which works in Mojave using a Mac. Any suggestions as the Character viewer does not seem to give a result?
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), macOS Mojave (10.14.1)
Type superscript in the Character Viewer search field…

Copy and paste into Mail from my example above works, so you can make a prototype in some other app and copy that. Or for speed you could use m\3 or m^2 both of which ought to be clear enough. There are also these unicode characters ² and ³ which would do the trick if you can track them down. I searched the web for superscript 2 character to find the first one.

Bingo!
A shame that there is not an easier way, I am used to, for example, holding down the e key and then immediately hitting the number 2 key for the accents (é). Perhaps it is possible in the future to programme a shortcut. Thanks.

Mac has never used that ascii code system. At best you would have to activate and switch to a different keyboard layout (Unicode Hex) and type the hex code 00b2 while holding alt/option.
Can you copy and paste from an existing example? E.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.

Exactly what character is it that you want? Let us know and we will try to find it for you.
I was emailing a friend and wanted to use 'm cubed' i.e.metres cubed. The same condition would apply to metres squared.
Thanks for your help.
The ASCI number is 178, so type the ASCI178 for the "upper" number 2 after the letter m.

Like this? mASCI178
You're welcome. FWIW, there can only be so many shortcuts before people can't remember them all. 😎
In windows you type 178 while holding the Alt key, in mac I don't remember (I don't have the mac with me now).

If you need this frequently, you can make a shortcut in system preferences/keyboard/text/replace with.
