That's the lowercase ç. The uppercase Ç is not directly
composable,
No, note that I said <Caps Lock> and not <Shift>. Using <Caps
Lock> it
outputs a 'Ç' for me (at least on X11 with the French layout).
Does not work on Windows. <Caps lock> and it gives 9. I tested
also on my Linux Mint box and it output lowercase ç with <Caps
lock>.
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.
It seems those are indeed not on the French layout at all.
Might I
suggest using the Belgian layout? It is AZERTY too and has both
'œ'
and 'Œ'.
No, it hasn't.
I indeed prefer the Belgian keyboard. It has more composable
deadkey characters accents, tildas. Brackets [{]} and other
programming characters < > | etc, are better placed than on the
French keyboard.
Btw æ and Æ are missing also, but there it's not very important
as there are really only very few words in French that use them
ex-æquo, curriculum vitæ, et cætera
