I remember seeing it occasionally, but that was a long time ago. I guess it fell out of favor, and I'd say that's just as well, because people couldn't agree on what it meant. As I remember it, it usually meant "or" or "or otherwise." Or in Dutch: "of" or "danwel." No idea what possessed people to abbreviate such short words in the first place.
