As others pointed out, this depends also on the font. In my webmail and
in my text editor, the accent displays above the m, struck across the
upper edge of the superscript letter.
The French Standards body is asking for a facility on the keyboard
to input the French ordinal indicator, basically a superscript e,
as a plain text character:
XXᵉ siècle [20th century, or since we are on it: 20ᵗʰ century].
There is no recommended use of accents when talking about French ordinals.
