Select a cell and enter:

'x2

then in the formula bar highlight only the 2 and pull-down:
Format > Cells... > and check superscript.

To format text like x with the exponent of 2 Format>Cells>Number>Custom

Enter the @ sign followed by ALT + 0178(on the numpad)

To format numbers use 0 followed by the ALT + 0178
