You said you wanted to use c-cedilla as the {lhs}, and that it didn't
work. Now here are the possibilities:
- If you have a mapping using Alt-g or Meta-g as the {lhs} it will
override anything c-cedilla might have been mapped to before;
- If 'encoding' is not set to either a full-Unicode charset, which means
one of:
utf-8 aka utf8
ucs-2 aka ucs-2be
ucs-2le
utf-16 aka utf-16be
utf-16le
ucs-4 aka ucs-4be aka utf-32 aka utf-32be
ucs-4le aka utf-32le
GB18030
(all of which except the last one are internally handled as UTF-8), or a
"Western" charset, which (IIRC) means one of
Latin1 aka iso-8859-1
iso-8859-15 aka Latin9
cp1252 aka Windows-1252
macroman (I think)
some "Western" legacy codepage of the form cp??? where ??? are 3
digits, but I'm not sure which codepage numbers are "Western" and which
ones aren't —
then Vim has no memory representation for the c-cedilla character and
therefore you cannot use it as the {lhs} of a mapping.

Best regards,
Tony.
