how do we add a square centimeter/meter/kilometer sign on top of the cm when we want to find the are of a square/triangle/circle etc

Question

# lets calculate the area of a rectangle
length_of_rectangle_1 = 6
breadth_of_rectangle_1 = 10
area_of_rectangle_1 = length_of_rectangle_1 * breadth_of_rectangle_1
print(area_of_rectangle_1)
length_of_rectangle_2 = 12
breadth_of_rectangle_2 = 22
area_of_rectangle_2 = length_of_rectangle_2 * breadth_of_rectangle_2
print(area_of_rectangle_2)

I want to find how to put the little 2 on top of cm

What is cm referring to? Do you want to calculate the power? — Dirk V, May 04 '20 at 09:28
nope, I am trying to get this result - 264cm² Note: it is from an external website — Arav Taneja, May 04 '20 at 09:30

In Python you can simply add the Unicode character to the string:

str(100) + 'cm' + '\u00B2'

There are many unicode character tables on the web. The \u part means "this is a Unicode string" ad the '00B2' part is just the hexadecimal code for the symbol. Now, this character is very commonly supported in fonts, but not all fonts, or even ones that claim to support Unicode, have all characters. Hope this helps!
