Obviously the single-character rule also applies to superscript when
used as ordinal indicator or more generally, as abbreviation indicator.

Thanks for the hint, it’s all about interoperability and in this case
too the point in using preformatted characters is a good one IIUC.

Sorry for getting a little off-topic. There’s also one reply on my
to-do list where I’ll do even more so; can’t help given it’s our
digital representation that’s at stake, and due to past neglect on
either side there’s still a need to painfully lobby for each
character while so many other important issues are out there…

Best Regards,
