I would use the same method that is used in base 10. The meaning of
the exponent would be clear if the base were indicated in much the
same way the degrees versus radians is indicated.
1.011 X 2^1110 would be displayed as 1.011 1110 with a side
indication of what base the display is in.
In hexadecimal, you would get numbers like A.25F 8C.
