Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Help with Orbit symbol

[muzzafc]

Hey guys, any idea how to get this symbol into a latex document? (See Attached)
I drew it myself so it may look a little bit odd, but my lecturer uses it in the Math pdf notes page all the time. It's used to represent the forward orbit of a point under iterates of a dynamical systems map onto itself, so basically an orbit. Also I don't believe it exists in a dialect of greek alphabet, I could be mistaken.
Thanks a lot, Murray

It's just a calligraphic »O«.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
  \[
    \mathcal{O}
  \]
\end{document}

In such cases you may try Detexify to find out the symbol.
