When to use it

The cedilla on its own as a spacing character. For the letter, use ç (ça va) or Ç.

The name dates from HTML 4, so it works in every browser and in old email clients.

Browsers also accept the legacy form &cedil without a semicolon, for compatibility with old pages; new HTML should always end the reference with a semicolon.
