Android : Square and square root sign

Question

I am creating an app where I need to show square root signs along with numbers. E.g.

  /¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
\/  (v^2) / T

I am also looking to show square of a number. Can anyone help in displaying such text. This text comes from a database and can change.

Answer 1

You can use √ U+221A - Unicode Square Root.

For squared, use ² U+00B2 - Unicode Superscript Two.

However, I expect that you will have to draw these advanced symbols using standard graphics primitives - text will likely be too limiting for such task.
