When to use it

Cubed units such as m³ and cm³.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&sup3;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00B3"; }

const s = "\u00B3";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
