U+1D11 LATIN SMALL LETTER SIDEWAYS O (encoded for UPA) comes near to this.

The LATIN SMALL LETTER ROTATED P is also known from other sources,
see e.g. http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n4081.pdf , fig. 77
(named LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED P there).
(On discussing this document at the WG2 meeting in Helsinki last year,
it was delayed for further study and thus not progressed into N4106.)
