I'm curious what was the motivation for adding the character to Unicode.
According to the Code Chart for Latin Extended B
(http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf), it’s used for
Sencoten. It was also used in some old Norwegian texts (for a start,
see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Kølle).
Thank you very much for the link to old Norwegian (I was aware of Sencoten).
Best regards
