How to show exponents under String.Format?

Question

How do I show a to the power 2 in the string.format?

analysis = String.Format("\nFormula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2");

Instead of a^2, I would like to show the same way as shown on the HTML page.

<strong>Formula: a<sup>2</sup> + b<sup>2</sup> = c<sup>2</sup></strong>

may I suggest using string interpolation which was introduced in c# 6, much easier to use than string.format :) — Muhammad Touseef, Aug 11 '18 at 20:42

String.Format doesn't support converting characters to superscript. You'll need to find the correct characters yourself and pass those to String.Format.

See this answer for ways to do that.

Got it. Thanks for your help. Here is the code analysis = String.Format("Formula: a" + "\xB2" + "+ b" + "\xB2" + " = c" + "\xB2"); – Amit Aug 11 '18 at 20:51
