Description

The Unicode character ³, or U+00B3, is named "Superscript Three". This character belongs to the "Latin-1 Supplement" block, which contains characters frequently used in Western languages and extends the original ASCII character set. It falls under the "Number, Other" category. Visually, it represents the digit three in a smaller font size and positioned slightly above the baseline, in line with the conventional style for superscript characters. In mathematical and scientific notation, the superscript three is most commonly used to represent the cube of a number or variable (for example, x³ signifies "x cubed", or "x times x times x"). It can also be used in textual contexts to indicate a footnote or reference mark. The specific interpretation of this character can vary depending on the context.
