cedilla

ce·dil·la [ sə díllə ] (plural ce·dil·las)


noun 
Definition:
 
pronunciation mark: in some languages, a mark placed beneath the letters c (ç) and s (ş) that signals a change in the pronunciation of the letter. In French and Portuguese, it shows that c is pronounced like s, not k. In modern Turkish it shows that c and s are voiceless rather then voiced.

[Late 16th century. < obsolete Spanish, "little z" < Latin zeta]
