Ok. Now I can see what the hooked o looks like in my editor using 
Hoefler as document font in my editor and typing o followed by alt-0328 
on the Hex keyboard.

But the resulting pdf-document is still not as I would expect. Instead 
of the hooked o I get an o followed by an ogonek (o˛).

Please bear over with me if I am missing something basic here.

Thank you,
