Power of...

So 6^2 will be 36 (6x6=36)

Cheers.

There are two types of people in the world: The ones who summon and the ones that create. There is a big difference...

Yeah, no one can be bothered going through the character map to find the little 2's and stuff.

Oh, and 6^2 would also be pronounced "6 squared", in addition to "6 to the power of 2".
