Used for what? Unless it is a dyslexic c-cedilla, my guess on that one is that it actually *is* a c with a retroflex hook, on analogy with IPA U+0282 and U+0290, and then following the Americanist tradition of using the c symbol, with appropriate diacritics, to represent the relevant affricate articulatorily paired with the fricative. Thus /c/ for a dental affricate, /c-hacek/ for a palato-alveolar affricate, /c-underdot/ for a retroflex affricate, and so on. --Ken
