Anyway, you can try this as well (really nice) : http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html

It is 0254 in unicode, I think.  There is also an HTML code, but I can't
recall what it is.

the obvious place to look is the "african" fc fonts (ctan
fonts/jknappen/fc)

sure enough, the glyph is there (position "aa), but you'll have to
work out how to use the fonts for yourself, i fear: i don't know anyone
who uses them -- using testfont.tex to look at the character table is
the limit of my use of them...

The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List has a table entitled "Letters Used
to Typeset African Languages", which indicates that the fc package's
\m{o} produces a backwards, upside-down "c".

One more way is to rotate or mirror a "c":

\usepackage{graphicx}

\reflectbox{c}

This will not work with PDF and PS output but not in the DVI.

Sorry, confusing typo:

- This will not work with PDF and PS output but not in the DVI.
