how to use special characters in windows forms application/report

I need to use a special character (an exponent of two, aka ^2) in a windows forms application. I also need to use it in a Microsoft Report that is opened by this same windows forms application.

Anyone know how to do this?

Start + Run, Charmap.exe. In the "Search for" box type "two", Search. Should be the 2nd character. Click it, Select, Copy. Switch to your code or report and hit Ctrl+V.
