Occurs in Lapp and Latvian.

Unicode 2.0 rather has U+0123 "Latin Small Letter G with Cedilla",
and says that there are three glyph variants (there is no hint on
the particular form of these variants, particularly whether one of
them has an acute-shaped mark rather than the cedilla). The pertinent
section on "Exceptional Case Pairs" (p. 6-7) does not mention U+0123.
