Ah, that's the second token of that thing. Matthew Carver discovered the first one back in October. We called it &c-tilde; (with hyphen).
Back when I was working on Torp, I had to come up with entities for a fair number of characters with multiple diacritics, such as 
. I found that it was too hard to read the entity names without hyphens (ølong; ôacute; óhook;), so the principle I ended up formulating was to always put a hyphen before the diacritic nickname, even in cases where the character has only one diacritic (such as 
&m-uring;, not &muring;). However, if a standard HTML entity already exists for the character, I used the standard entity, even if this meant not using the hyphen where I normally would have.
I need to update the character list. There's more than one character that needs to be added at this point. Next week is spring break, so maybe I can get caught up.
