Help writing Symbols?

Some people manage square root signs, powers and all sorts, while I struggle with ^2 and sqrt and log(base3).

Answer 4

There are 2 ways to type those letters and symbols. There are alt codes which are "ALT nnn" where the numbers for nnn must be typed on the keypad. There are also HTML entities that will work on many forums, including here. The format for those are &xxx;. Here are links for both of them.
