mandoc question

[Rich Morin]

Assuming that I have a function argument n and want to say
something like:

  The n'th character is ignored.

How do I use the .Fa macro (or whatever) to do this.  My
current code is

  The
  .Fa n'th
  character is ignored.

but that highlights all of "n'th".  I've tried a couple of
other possibilities (along with RTFM), but no luck so far.

Help?
