Interesting point.
My guess though is that it just might be a subscript Latin O, for "_o_ptional
neutral tone".
I can check W. Simon's books on GR that are quoted for reference, and see how
it renders there.
I think I posed the wrong question in the beginning. How to know which
character to use if all I have is printed material that probably used rich-
text information to render the glyph.
Am I wrong looking for a plain-text solution? I believe a Romanisation is so
basic it should be expressible in plain-text.
