agree  philgoddard: You were first, though you should have explained that it stands for quadrati.

  -> my alternative makes it clear. Perhaps foolishly, I assumed the asker would know what "mm" stands for.

agree  Gian: correttamente bisogna scrivere mm² . Il carattere ² (ovvero il numero che indica il quadrato) si ottiene con ALT + 253. Vedere tabella dei caratteri speciali 850 Multilingue (Latina I)

mm²


Explanation:
Mi sembra che il testo originale sia pieno di errori.
Infatti il metro si deve scrivere con m; quindi matassa di 100 m
Il quadrato e il cubo si scrivono mostrando un 2 o un 3 nella forma:
m² e m³
Per i caratteri speciali è bene scaricare la tabella dei caratteri speciali che vengono generati da ALT + numero
