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.
