Usage notes
qm is deprecated in favor of m². Furthermore, since 2022 it may be misinterpreted as quectometer. Yet qm is still found outside the field of science, e. g. housing advertisements, because entering the raised 2 in electronic data processing systems (computers, smartphones) is too difficult for some people (see also m2).
