This occurs rarely in personal names in German
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%B8#Franz%C3%B6sisch
and in French in place names amongst others (https://fr.wikipedia.org/
wiki/%C5%B8#Fran%C3%A7ais).

A quick search did not yield any evidence for English, but German - see
above.

This https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%96 says it was used historically in
Lativian. This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_orthography clarifies
that it is part of an older orthography still in use in diaspora
communities.

This is way  larger than the set of characters used in German, even taking
into consideration loans and borrowings from other languages. I would be
interested to know who developed this on what basis. Some sources are 404.
