I think ‘ⁿ’ should be sorted after ‘z’ rather than between
‘n’ and ‘o’, but I have not thought this through. Let’s sort
it after ‘z’ and see what happens.

Argh, the evil U+00B7 crept in. Of course they should be
U+0358, so
* am_pm: téng-po͘, ē-po͘

By the way, in formulating these answers, I referred to
http://zh-min-nan.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages
where some evil U+00B7 fossils are still lingering.
