Unicode Symbol for compact display of const attribute

Unicode Symbol for compact display of const attribute

[Nordlöw]

Does anyone know of any unicode symbol suitable for representing the
const attribute (in other other IDEs such as Xcode and Anjuta
typically expressed as a boxed somewhat smaller capital C)?

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

Can you draw it or supply its Unicode name or position? The Unicode  
organisation offers charts to *see* all assigned code points.

You can always try:
- find UnicodeData.txt somewhere on the Net;
- fnsert it into a buffer;
- move point to beginning of buffer;
- eval the form:
  (while (looking-at "[0-9A-F]+")
    (insert (string-to-number (match-string 0) 16) "\t")
    (forward-line 1))

This give good results in Emacs 23.0.60, YMMV.

There is no single character in The UCS for that.  Therefore it
is encoded as either the sequence of:

,----[ composition of "C⃞" ]
| U+0043 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C      [ C]
| U+20DE COMBINING ENCLOSING SQUARE  [ ⃞]
`----

,----[ composition of "ᴄ⃞" ]
| U+1D04 LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL C  [ ᴄ]
| U+20DE COMBINING ENCLOSING SQUARE    [ ⃞]
`----

Or, in a Math context you might choose one of the C characters from
the MATHEMATICAL block starting at U+1D400, combined with U+20DE.

(As a side note, in this message-mode buffer the first composition is
not combining, nor are the NBSP+Combining sequences.  But the small cap
sequence is doing so.  (CVS HEAD, tip as of 2008/07/07T11:30:00Z or so.)
