    Custom Format a text cell with brackets

    Basically I want to surround a text cell with brackets using Format Cells > Number > Custom

    From a previous search, I know I can use "("atsymbol")", however that does not preserve superscripts

    eg I would like mol m-3 to be displayed as (mol m-3) however it comes out as (mol m-3) when using "("atsymbol")"

    Is this even possible?

    Thanks!

    Note I've said 'atsymbol' as it thinks I am trying to post a link when I use that symbol and I'm too new to be permitted to do that
