    Change the font to be superscript.

    I'm doing this in a Windows Forms Datagridview control. The cells in this
    control display in basic text. It's for showing a list of variables and
    their expressions.

    There is no superscript decimal point in Unicode 5.0. To find all of
    the superscript characters, you can search for "<super>" in the file
    UnicodeData.txt.

    The preferred way to do what you want is to use HTML, such as:

        x<sup>0.5</sup>

    or possibly using CSS.
