you can type x and then on your keyboard press and hold the alt key while you type 253 on the number pad on the right of the keyboard. This only works if your keyboard has the number pad.

You will get x².

Likewise, math symbols such as the integral symbol --> ∫ x² dx can be gotten by pressing the windows button and semicolon button. And then go to symbols tab, and then to math symbols and select the one you want. This way you dont have to type any special ascii code or use %c.

[Star Strider]

This is essentially doing the same thing as in my Answer, just not using fprintf.

Note that doing this with fprintf is the actual question being posed here.

[Francis Adesayo]

%use alt+253 to get superscript 2.

fprintf('x²\n')

x²

In my mind, this makes the code look cleaner than say:

fprintf('x%c',char(178))

x²

[Star Strider]

Proof of concept —

ssc = [185 178 179];
fprintf('\tx%c\n', char(ssc))

	x¹
	x²
	x³

Vectorised!

The OP just wanted x² printed on the command window. I simply provided an alternative way which has the added benefit of making the code look cleaner. Cheers Star Strider.

It is not possible to do such thing in command window currently: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/255568-putting-a-subscript-into-a-string-displaying-the-command-window

Ohh sorry..
