May 24, 2019 at 10:14 comment added Denys Potapov @barbarabeeton in cyrillic typography we also place marker before punctuation (as in French).

May 23, 2019 at 0:53 comment added barbara beeton In publishing, it's traditional to place the footnote marker after the punctuation, at least if the punctuation is a period or comma. That avoids unsightly spacing.
May 22, 2019 at 22:16 comment added Bananguin I think the space just looks so big b/c the 1 is small and hovers above the baseline. Notice the space between the s and the . at the end is also relatively big. I played around a bit and it would seem that the whitespace around a footnotemark (... I believe its called. I am talking about the ¹) is indeed slighly larger than between "normal" letters.
