* '''Squared and cubic metric-symbols''' are always expressed with a superscript exponent ({{xt|5{{nbsp}}km{{sup|2}}}}, {{xt|2{{nbsp}}cm{{sup|3}}}}); squared imperial and US unit abbreviations may be rendered with {{xt|sq}}, and cubic with {{xt|cu}} ({{xt|15{{nbsp}}sq{{nbsp}}mi}}, {{xt|3{{nbsp}}cu{{nbsp}}ft}}).
A template is available to render consistently. The above example is coded with the template syntax <tt><nowiki>{{sup|2}}</nowiki></tt> rather than <tt><nowiki><sup>2</sup></nowiki></tt> or the special Unicode superscript digit '²'.
