Ahhh yes, I always forget that little superscript 'e' in French.
I'll have to add that to my notes.
Superior Letters is the term, and you can find more examples here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_letter
There's also the Ordinal Indicator (a little superscript 'a' or 'o' or '°' [degree sign] that used while marking first/second/third place):

No need to waste money on such abominations. I'll acquire it elsewhere.
If you want to send me a DRM-free version for research purposes, I'd be open though.

Am I seeing this correct?
- 1 = Endnotes
- fn1 = Footnotes
Within the text, they're superscripted. They're also jammed together, so if two notes are next to each other, you get:
1fn1
(Another reason why brackets are good in ebooks, then you'll see a more distinct "[1][fn1]".)
When you jump to the actual note chapters...
Endnotes are jammed into one enormous paragraph with a bunch of non-breaking spaces between. Something along these lines:
Code:
<p><a href=""><span class="bold">1</span></a><span class="bold">.</span> WSC, <span class="italic">Marl</span> I p. 33 <a href=""><span class="bold">2</span></a><span class="bold">.</span> James, ‘Churchill, the Man’ p. 5 <a href=""><span class="bold">3</span></a> [...]
Why? Just why?
Footnotes, you get all of them wrapped in <blockquote> + centered... and similarly ugly code with millions of useless non-breaking spaces before/after numbers:
Code:
<blockquote><span> <sup><small><a href=""><span>fn1 </span></a></small></sup> So nicknamed because of his earliest courtesy title, the Earl of Sunderland, rather than because of his disposition.</span></blockquote>
At least it's not all in a single paragraph!
And this thing was published
in 2018!!!
How does this abomination not have a KQN (Kindle Quality Notice)? That big, red banner should be scaring away buyers and knock some sense into whoever created that hideous thing.
