: [HELP]cgs to mks unit convertor
: Dark Nebulae October 29, 2012, 02:05:50 PM: I want to make a program that can convert cgs units into mks units and vice-versa.I am able to convert the magnitude but I don't know how to print the units (such as kg^-1m³s^-2for the units of G).I tried it in Ruby,Python,C++ but in all those languages, I faced the same problem.Plz Help.

Java and Unicode: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/unicode.html

In Java you can create a Unicode string like this:

:
String unicodeExample = new String("\u00ea" + "\u00f1" + "\u00fc");

I.e.
A JLabel can use HTML tags, so you can easily write superscripts:

: (Java)
JLabel label = JLabel("kg<html><sup>-1</sup></html>");
