The line in question before "replace":
40mm2 100mm2 200mm2

The line in question after "replace":
40mm2 100mm2 200mm2

???

Even this in a field with that line does not work?
...
put numToCodepoint(0x00B2) into tSup
replace "mm2 " with ("mm" & tSup & " ") in fld 1
...
? 

Tried with LC 8.16 Stable on macOS 10.12.6.
