If all you need are the ordinal indicators º and ª, these exist as dedicated
Unicode characters: no HTML needed. I copied/pasted these from the Wikipedia
article on the orginal indicator [1].
There's nothing for longer sequences like "st" or "ora" in Unicode, so if
you want to stick to plain text, you'll need to use something else. In
English, one sees things like 1st or 1^st or 1^{st}.
