What's wrong with

primo = "1º"
prima = "1ª"

Shouldn't that do the trick without further trickery?

Well, the example png shows the "°" placed above the dot of "1.".

You are using the wrong character here.  What you use is

   name: DEGREE SIGN
   general-category: So (Symbol, Other)
   decomposition: (176) ('°')

whereas the correct character is

   name: MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR
   general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)
   decomposition: (super 111) (super 'o')

If the dot can be omitted, "1°" is probably just fine.

My mastery of Spanish (and/or Portuguese?) is non-existing, but it would
seem like the name and existence of that glyph makes it likely that its
presence alone should be indicative of an ordinal number.

Ok. This is yet another utf trickery I wasn't aware of ;-)

Thanks for clarification!

Marc
