Usually, when I see A.M. and P.M. in books, they've got something like class="small" or class="smallcaps" around them. Out of curiosity, does anyone know why? I never see things like U.S., D.C. or L.A. "classed" like that. Why A.M. and P.M.? And, while I'm asking silly questions, is there a special character replacement that ought to be used in place of the abbreviations? I find SQUARE PM (U+33D8) for p.m., but nothing for a.m..

EDIT: I found the a.m. equivalent "SQUARE AM (U+33C2)".
