This isn't about them not looking *exactly* the same, it's about these 
existing modifiers being inconsistent with each other in visibly noticable 
ways. Nor are these characters mere styling that should require rich-text 
(including changing fonts) to represent. Consider the possibility that someone 
might wish to use Tonal units among whatever existing use of these 
inconsistently-superscripted characters.
