Or for that matter, type. At least C♯ has "C#". Maybe we can use C' ?

  At least in OS X, you can type Ć by holding C and pressing 2: http://i.imgur.com/6xCSVW5.png http://i.imgur.com/6xCSVW5.png

    I don't have this functionality. Could you explain if I have to enable something for it to work? It would be a great help, since I have that letter in my last name...

      It's on by default on OS X Lion+.

      You need OS X 10.7 or later. To enable: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true To disable: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

      I was going to say that on OS X 10.6 and earlier, you can type Option+E, then type C, but it turns out that doesn’t work. Option+E only lets you add the ´ to vowels, like Á. I confirmed that using the Keyboard Viewer (search for it in System Preferences). However, you can create a custom keyboard layout with Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele), in which you replace some character you never use (option+something) with Ć. I use a custom layout myself, in which I swapped some keys around so it’s easier to type smart quotes ‘ ’ “ ”.

        Opt+E, C works fine in US Extended keyboard mode, which supports a lot more accented letters. US Extended is also required for writing in certain obscure Latin-based writing systems, such as Esperanto or Chinese Pinyin.

  Alternative names for Ć are "ci" and "cito".

Who's "we"? Your OS only supports 7-bit ASCII or what? https://www.google.com/search?q=%C4%86%20programming%20language https://www.google.com/search?q=%C4%86%20programming%20langu...

  Yeah, but most people in the US will be too lazy to type that character when writing about it. Also, look at the author's own examples. They already have to resort to calling it "ci" in code and on the command line (and in URLs).

It's great name. Of course if you come from Poland or other Central Europe Country. Then all you need is type ALT + c. In Polish keyboard mode.
