About the letter ċ
ċ is Unicode U+010B, named LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH DOT ABOVE. It is used in Maltese. A single dot above a letter, used in Polish (ż), Lithuanian (ė), Maltese (ċ, ġ, ż) and Turkish (İ, the dotted capital I). See the ċ character page for every code and shortcut.
Troubleshooting
- Alt codes only work with the number pad. On a laptop without one, use Win+. or the US-International layout.
- If Alt codes type the wrong symbol, add a 0 before the number (Alt+0233 rather than Alt+130).
- Some apps, such as remote desktop sessions, block Alt codes. Copy the letter from this page instead.
