Curious -- for most Portuguese keyboards have a key for U+00BA (which
produces U+00AA when shifted), but no key for U+00B0. So we have just the
opposite situation in most Portuguese text. (Of course typesetters are
supposed to know the difference, but they are mostly "graphical artists"
these days…)
In Portuguese we use this thing (U+00BA and U+00AA) a lot, but it "should"
be there also an "s", at least. Of course, almost anyone capable of
inserting an U+02E2 would know that what these really are is underlined
superscript letters (non plain text), but that was already said.
