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.)
