Aw: Re: 1ˢᵗ, 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ … 9ᵗʰ

[Marius Spix]

This is similiar to the mathematical italic letters, where 𝑓 and 𝑥 have very special appearances depending on the used font, 𝑓(𝑥) (function of x) is a very common character sequence in mathematical context. For some reason 𝓵 (U+1D4F5) and ℓ (U+2113) are different characters, because the latter is also used for the unit litre.

to contain ⁿ than the other letters due to its use in Pe̍h-ōe-jī and IPA. So, ⁿ
often appears in a different style in the word 2ⁿᵈ for example.
