I've been looking for the the character used in Norwegian (and
possibly elsewhere) as an abbreviation for that is to say, in other
words, i.e.. It looks like a reversed lower-case c followed by a

unable to find it.

Could be, but I need reversed lower-case 'c' followed by colon as a

Also, I am very curious if this character is used (or even known)
outside Norway at all.

Why do you need it as a single character? What do you want to do with it
