How do i add the squared symbol to a number

One way to produce the exponent 2 is to hold the Alt key down while pressing
0178 (on the number keypad, not the top row of your keyboard).

Do you want to square the number ? [ num^2 will square the number]
do you want to show that a number is squared in a text line?
enter the number with the 2 right after it. Select the 2 and <format><cell>
and select Superscript.

In a formula use =A1^2 to square A1.
In text use 2, but format the font of the 2 as superscript.
