Google aside, 'ça' has two meanings: o It is an abbreviation of 'cela', a demonstrative pronoun, as in 'C'est ça!', That's right! .
o It is also an adverb, 'here' or 'hither', as in 'ça et la', here and there. As Paul Gilmartin all but said, it is always written/printed as 'ça'. If it were written as ''ca', it would be pronounced 'ka', as in 'cabane' , ka'ban, not 'sa', as in 'façade', fa'sahd. French is a Latin dialect, and the complete text of Pliny the Younger's apothegm: Errare humanum est, perseverare autem diabolicum. is relevant here. To err is human; to persist in it is diabolical.
