I was not specifically asking about this combining mark, and I have been
convinced that it's use should be avoided.
My question was really typographic in nature. And specifically related to
research to determine if there are additional atomic retroflex-hooked
characters that need to be added to Unicode. I needed to know when I'm
looking at samples whether they represent instanced of retroflex-hooked
characters or not. Of course, what sounds they are used to represent is
relevant info, but not necessarily a determining factor since character are
often repurposed by linguists looking for some way to represent the sounds
of a given language.
