I have a label component in Perspective showing an analogue value of cubic meters. I want to show the unit as `m^3` (where the number 3 is in superscript). Is this possible in Perspective at the moment?

Thanks!

Probably the easiest solution: Use the unicode superscript character; eg: `m³`

The rest were placed in a dedicated section of Unicode at U+2070 to U+209F. The two tables below show these characters. Each superscript or subscript character is preceded by a normal x to show the subscripting/superscripting. The table on the left contains the actual Unicode characters; the one on the right contains the equivalents using HTML m...

You could also use a Markdown component instead of the Label. The Markdown component allows for HTML, so you could use the same method as you did in Vision.
