Find and replace text and glyph m2

I'd need to replace all the "m2" in the document with the "m" followed by (the little) apex "2" (Unicode: 00B2). Can't use the glyphs tab because it's not a matter of replacing an existing glyph but to turn a text into another text that ALSO has an unicode character. Very few about this available online.... only me having this need? Workarounds? (p.s.: need to apply a "replace all" because it's a huge amount of pages. Thnx.

Hello, I would also need this grep function, but the tips in the answers do not work in CC version 2023. If it finds m2 it replaces me with m\xB2 or m\xK2. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much!

 

P.S. and I need the same grep function to change all CO2 to CO₂...

Ok, I was able to solve it at least for m2 like this: find (?<=\<m)2\> and replace with -> Format > Position Superscript

 

For the CO2: find (?<=\<CO)2\>  and replace with the format position Subscript

    You should apply CharStyle - not local formatting / override.

      ... Find:m2, Replace:m\xK2 ...

      This can't be correct grep

        Thanks.... seems it doesn't work for me. I've tryed both in Text and GREP tab but result is that are no matches to change.
