I can now type z̧

Why would I want to type that?

I upgraded my MacBook (named macm1) to MacOS Whatever and it seems like the way you input cedilla in the ABC Extended keyboard has changed.

I think that pressing option+c used to output ç but now it’s a dead key for ¸. A dead key means that the ¸ can be combined with other keys to generate combinations like: ņ, and of course ç.

You may ask: when would I ever need to type a combination like ¸ or ?

Well, here it is, a blog post that needed it.

Also, my girlfriend is from Galați.
