How to superscript in a print statement in python 3?

I've been trying to append a unit into a calculated value using the print statement in python 3, but I can't seem to find a way to get the unit to print as a superscript.

print ("I max = ", np.amax(intensity363), "J m$^-2$")

I've currently got tex, but I've tried html style with as I do it on a graph axes, and various other options listed in this post

How do you print superscript in Python?

but none work, given the age of this post I'm wondering if its a python 2/3 thing.

Thanks for the help

As I see that you're working with Jupyter you might be interested in this approach, if indeed you're not already using it.

embedded Latex

This is done in Py2 only because I haven't installed Py3 in Jupyter. I expect it works in essentially the same way.

There's no such a built-in feature. You can use Unicode if you need some fancy symbols, e.g.

>>> print("%d⁻²" % 42)
42⁻²

You need to look up the different codes if you need something more dynamic than just the "-2".
