The name of the symbol below the French letter c (7)

I believe the answer is:

cedilla

(Other definitions for cedilla that I've seen before include "Small mark placed below C in Portuguese and Catalan, for example" , "Sign to soften C" , "I called (anag.)" , "Mark suggesting a 'c' should be pronounced an 's'" , "Low mark in French" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
