> U+0322 RETROFLEX HOOK is an artifact of Unicode.

All characters are artifacts, this one came to Unicode from bibliographic standards, 
so that would be where to seek its usage if any.

   c. CEDILLAS AND HOOKS:

Two cedillas and two hooks are required as diacritical marks for bibliographic
transcription, and also for the proper representation of a number of languages
(as documented in ANSI Z39.47-1985 and ISO 5426-1983).

These four diacritical marks are present in the USMARC character set, in ANSEL
(ANSI Z39.47-1985) and in the ISO extension of the Latin alphabet for
bibliographic use (ISO 5426-1983).  Their encoding and naming in each of these
character sets is shown in the following table.

USMARC    ANSEL     ISO      USMARC NAME      ANSEL NAME       ISO NAME
