How do I use superscript or subscript on Yahoo! Answers?

Question

Thanks for any help provided!

Answer 1

Cut and paste from a word processor.

ALT nnnn where nnnn is the decimal number for the glyph in the character set. like ALT 0176 for the ° (degree) symbol. Use the numeric keypad. Use the XML/HTML variable alpha to get α or sup3 to get ³ (superscript 3). The variable reference begins with ampersand and ends with semicolon.

Answer 2

You can't; it's just plain text here.

But it's customary in such settings to use ^ for superscript.

So, for example, X^2 is "X-squared".

There's probably some convention for subscript, too, but I don't know what it is.

You might try some searching for email or texting conventions.
