When ending a sentence with "p.m.", do we use two dots at the end or just one?

i.e.

p.m.
or
p.m..

Thanks. What if the sentence would be asked as a question. Would it then be.


"p.m?"

or

p.m.?

With any other type of punctuation besides the period, then use both.

Did you say a.m. or p.m.? We were supposed to be there at 8 a.m., but we got a bit lost so we were late.

Awesome, thanks for your help.

Where did you learn all these rules? Is there a book for it?
