[DCRM-L] Transcription of German superscript "o"

[Calli Neumann]

Hello,

I'm cataloging disbound leaves of a German book from 1556, which is digitized here<https://www.google.com/books/edition/New_gro%C3%9F_distillier_Buch_wolgegr%C3%BCndter/-nhVAAAAcAAJ?hl=en> <https://www.google.com/books/edition/New_gro%C3%9F_distillier_Buch_wolgegr%C3%BCndter/-nhVAAAAcAAJ?hl=en> in Google Books.

My question is about the superscript "o" in "Buch" in the title.  The example in the table of Early Letterforms & Symbols shows that the letter should be transcribed with the superscript character ("můss").  The same example also appears in a wonderful post from the Folger here<https://www.folger.edu/blogs/collation/brevigraphs/>: "In German ... it really is a superscript o, a medieval superscript letter diacritic."  There is a footnote that says this should not confused with the ring diacritic ("overring"), and that "Combining Latin Small Letter o" is Unicode U+0366.

Assuming I'm on the right track, how should this be entered in OCLC?  There is only a ring in the diacritics and special characters menu.  Unsure whether I can copy & paste a "u" with the Unicode character indicated above, and it does not look right pasted in Connexion.

Thank you!

Calli
