R^2^ = 0.11

Edit: tried with R2 but it didn't work. :(

Edit 02: thanks to @jaennaet for educating me on proper syntax.

You have to surround the 2 with ^s:

R^2^ = 0.11

R^2^ = 0.11

Note that this'll bork if you put spaces between the carets: ^2 2^ gives you ^2 2^

I know I'm late, but you can also use:
R² = 0.11

Someone said it messes with screen-readers, but when I tried, everything messed with screen-readers, so I don't see much of a difference.

I'd assume it's easier for people to get their keyboards to cough up a couple of carets compared to Unicode superscript characters, though

Yeah.
I use KCharSelect for it and have been considering making a plasmoid for it for a while now.
