E=MC˛

the squared character (superscript 2) is generated by holding down the alt-key
and entering 253 on the numeric keypad
___ 253 is the decimal number for the ascii code of the character

it is usually easier to utilize the caret symbol (^) to denote exponents
___ the caret is above the 6 on the keyboard
