Similar to the E notation denoting "*10^", there is an old informal convention to denote "*2^" using an uppercase "B" instead of the "E" (e.g. 1024 = 1.024E3 = 1.000B10 or 1000 = 1.000E3 = 0.9765625B10). Problem is that a lowercase "b" is also often used to denote a binary number.

It's an interesting idea!
Since it's an informal convention, there would be no problem with the letter b in my opinion. I can't see confusion with binary numbers, because they have the # prefix (at least in RPL, I don't know the WP34s)
Of course, the E symbol is perfectly valid too, and more common than e indeed. I have no preference here.
