How can I have 'angstrom square' as unit of y axis in a plot?

I need use 'angstrom square' as unit of y axis in a plot. I tried: >>ylabel('MSD (\AA^{2})','Interpreter','latex','Fontname','TimesNewRoman') but it did not work. The version of my Matlab is R2014a.

Thank you.

You forgot the dollar signs ($):

figure(1)
plot(rand(1,100), rand(1,100), 'pg')
ylabel('$MSD (\AA^{2})$','Interpreter','latex','Fontname','TimesNewRoman')

or:

    ylabel('MSD ($\AA^{2}$)','Interpreter','latex','Fontname','TimesNewRoman')

Another option:

angsqr = [char(197) char(178)]

angsqr =
    'Ų'

It works. Thank you very much!

As always, my pleasure!

Another option would be

angs = [char(197)];

ylabel(strcat( angs ,'^{n}') )
