Consider the audience, not tech writers who haven't coded. It doesnât take
years of college math to know that a caret is the usual symbol to denote an
exponent. And that in code there is no concept of a superscript. If the
audience is IT people, I think it safe to assume that they won't even pause
at 2^80.
I vote for 2^80.
