It's similar, but the combining class of U+0312 is 230, indicating that
it is a detached diacritic rather than attached like a cedilla.
If it were attached, it would belong to the currently empty combining
class 214.

Not even Dorsey, it seems; his field notes are in a different orthography
altogether, and the "Dorsey orthography" of his publications was
apparently imposed on him by the BAE and its printers.
