Can anyone tell me what an o in the superscript position with a dot directly
under and close to it means in an 1817 document? It looks something like
what follows (but is, as I said, on one line):

o
.

or

c
.

In case context will help, here's a transcription I made of the line that
has the above-mentioned character:

"To the payment whereof will & truly to be made we bind ourselves our heirs
&
o firmly by these presents witness our hands & seals this 4th day of March
1817."
.
