That's the lowercase ç. The uppercase Ç is not directly
composable, annoying or to say it in French to illsutrate: "Ça
fait chier". I use Alt+1+2+8 on Windows, but most people do not
know these ancient OEM-437 based character codes going back to
the orignal IBM-PC. The newer ANSI based Alt+0+1+9+9 is one
keypress longer and I would have to learn actually the code.
There are 2 other characters that are not available on the french
keyboard: œ and Œ. Quite annoying if you sell beef (bœuf) and
eggs (œufs) in the towns of Œutrange or Œting.
