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.
