The tutor reveals why it might be easier to type x⁴ on your smart phone than from a desktop keyboard.

Trying to send a text that mentioned a dollar amount today, it seemed that, on my Nexus 4, only the £ currency symbol was offered. Without a dollar sign visible on the keyboard, what was I to do?

From my desktop computer I quickly searched how to get dollar sign on nexus 4 phone when texting, then selected this article. It explains that, with a long-press, other related symbols show up for some keys. I long-pressed the £ sign to find the $ sign in a pop-up menu.

Pressing the 4 key, I received the option ⁴. Therefore, x⁴ may be more easily texted from a smartphone than typed from a home desktop. Neat, eh?

HTH:)
