However, most scholarly work in semitic languages uses s-underdot for
Tsaddi.  Always thus for Arabic letter sad, and increasingly so for Hebrew
too.  To use a C is counter-intuitive except for Poles and others whose
language happens to use the C for the TS sound!

 Can someone explain why the software people have chosen to use "C" for
Tsaddi?  A poor choice given the above facts!
