How to obtain a lowercase cursive “o”?

Question

The problem is how to print the following math symbol. I cannot find it among the Greek symbols.

here is where the "o" i find. I guess it's a special mathfont , and your anwser is very well and i will adopt your solution, but we can go head and find the best solution. thanks again.

what is the context here, it is very hard to tell what that symbol is, it looks like an o in a handwriting font, but you hint you are looking for Greek? Where did you find that symbol? If it is in a pdf you can see what character and what font it is. — David Carlisle, Jun 13 '17 at 09:25
To closers as duplicate: I tried Detexify and it gives no real clue. The mathalfa package is not mentioned in the Comprehensive List, nor is the Boondox font except for a special letter. — egreg, Jun 13 '17 at 10:28

@egreg thank you, this paper come from Elsevier, I guess the font is the special font from Elsevier. — archzi, Jun 13 '17 at 13:33
@David Carlisle THANK YOU, I thought the character was a Greek alphabet，SORRY. — archzi, Jun 13 '17 at 13:35

This is a lowercase “o” in a script alphabet; the best approximation I can offer is via the mathalfa package:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[scr=boondox]{mathalfa}

\begin{document}

$\mathscr{o}$

\end{document}

@egreg's solution is as close as one is going to get to the symbol you displayed, but here's an alternative.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{dutchcal}

\begin{document}

$\mathcal{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}$

\end{document}
