Description

The Unicode character ¸, or U+00B8, is known as the "Cedilla". It is part of the "Latin-1 Supplement" block, which includes various characters used in Western European languages. This character falls under the "Mark, Nonspacing" category. Visually, it appears as a small hook and is usually placed below a consonant. The Cedilla is a diacritical mark used in several Latin-script languages, including French, Portuguese, Catalan, and Turkish. It is typically used under the letter "c" to indicate a 's' sound where 'c' would otherwise represent a 'k' sound, as in the French "garçon". The specific usage of the Cedilla can depend on the particular conventions of a language, but it generally serves as an indicator of pronunciation.
