To my knowledge, these characters are used only when transcribing 
foreign names in languages that do not use the Latin alphabet,
especially Russian, e.g. Gorbatsov, Tsehov or Solzenitsyn.
The Finnish language itself does not have these sounds. In newspapers,
however, they are usually spelt Gorbatshov, Tshehov and
Solzhenitsyn. I don't know about their usage in the past, though.
I'd like to see that standard - what is it about?
