I've installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with keyboard "English (UK, extended, with Win keys)".

I'm confused about where to find certain characters. For example, AltGr+1 gives superscript 1, AltGr+3 gives superscript 3, so why doesn't AltGr+2 give superscript 2? Superscript 2 (meaning squared) is much more useful than 1 or 3. Where can I find superscript 2 on this keyboard?

In that layout it's replaced with dead_diaeresis.

Superscript 2 is available in the basic English (UK) layout, and also in English (UK, intl., with dead keys) and a few other. So if easy access to superscript 2 is important to you, you may either want to consider to use one of those instead, or edit the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb file and replace dead_diaresis in the English (UK, extended, with Win keys) layout with twosuperior.
