This was discussed at thread555-85045 was suggestion from "DORU":

1. You can write this only with True Type fonts (Arial, Times etc) not with Romans and others.
2. To do this you have to:
- launch the command Multiline Text (_mtext in Autocad 2000)
- change the font to Arial or other TT font.
- start writing in the windowL: m m then press the Alt key and with that key pressed, press one after each other the keys 0178.
- Release all keys and you will obtain the mm2 correct.

The way that I use is in mtext type m the sign "^" (over the #6) then your two. Highlight the "^2" and press the a/b button beside the color pull down. Still with it highlighted right click and choose properties. In the stack properties you have many choices. Hope this makes sense. Kat
