The mystery of Edwin U+1E9A

Where does this strange beast come from? Its name is LATIN SMALL LETTER
A WITH RIGHT HALF RING, and the right half ring is indeed above the "a".
We don't have a RIGHT HALF RING ABOVE combining mark, so it only gets a
compatibility decomposition.

Who would need a lower-case letter with a unique diacritic, and no upper-case
equivalent? The U+1Exx block is "random junk inherited from 10646 DIS 1",
Does anyone understand it?
