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." .
