I've seen it used when inserting a different character/equation etc. within a sentence. Personally, I wouldn't use it in a sentence; I think that looks horrible when you change the background color unless the device/app supports transparent background, but it is OK if it is used like a blockquote.

Mr. Panumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, it had one line that was in a mirrored font. I embedded Charis SIL and modified the regular version to be mirrored. I did this so the mirrored text would look good. I did subset it and it wasn't that much bigger.
