Another note:

To make the symbol ², hold the alt button and press 0178 ON THE NUMBERPAD (the numberpad should be to the right of the letter keys). It MUST be on the numberpad to work. To make the symbol ³, hold the alt button and press 0179 on the numberpad. Again, it MUST be on the numberpad to work.
