Use the "Superscipt Two" unicode character like this:

    "2\302\262"

This isn't useful for superscripts other than 2 or 3 ("\302\263") 
because (at least with the font I'm looking at) there aren't any other 
superscript numbers in Unicode.  If you want something other than 
squared and cubed, use the pango markup solution already posted.
