I am trying to output the area using a message box, and it should be displayed as, for example, 256 unit^2...

How can I write a superscript (for powers) and a subscript (like O2 for oxygen)???

This guy here adds a superscript like (TM):

You could try using unicode super/subscripts, for example:

var o2 = "O₂";       // or "O\x2082"
var unit2 = "unit²"; // or "unit\xB2"

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll probably need to to write your own message box.
