html-code for 5 hooked o's

Hi!
Here is the html code that Mozilla Composer generated
in response to my putting 5 hooked o's into the wysiwyg
editor:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
ǫǫǫǫǫ
</body>
</html>

Apparently then, in order to get this to work, one has to
html-enable one's email user agent. I'll try that presently.
Here are the 5 hooked o's once again:
ǫǫǫǫǫ

Best greetings
