Why not support floating point number type?

At least in OS X, you can type Ć by holding C and pressing 2: http://i.imgur.com/6xCSVW5.png
I don't have this functionality. Could you explain if I have to enable something for it to work? It would be a great help, since I have that letter in my last name...
I was going to say that on OS X 10.6 and earlier, you can type Option+E, then type C, but it turns out that doesn’t work. Option+E only lets you add the ´ to vowels, like Á. I confirmed that using the Keyboard Viewer (search for it in System Preferences).
However, you can create a custom keyboard layout with Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele), in which you replace some character you never use (option+something) with Ć. I use a custom layout myself, in which I swapped some keys around so it’s easier to type smart quotes ‘ ’ “ ”.

...unless you have no idea what "acute" means or you've never seen it in your life, because you haven't been exposed to French or English musical notation before (which applies for, I'd bet, over 80% of programmers worldwide :) )
But most programmers probably have studied basic geometry.
And? There are a lot of diacritics to choose from if you don't know all their names, and that's assuming you even catch on that it's supposed to be a diacritic.

Opt+E, C works fine in US Extended keyboard mode, which supports a lot more accented letters. US Extended is also required for writing in certain obscure Latin-based writing systems, such as Esperanto or Chinese Pinyin.

I'm not saying there isn't a need, but I'm interested in knowing of another need. Hasn't this been done in C already? C pretty much runs anywhere, after all. What exactly does this bring to the table? Sorry that people thought I was being negative (as per all the downvotes - you people really aught to comment), I'm just curious as to why other languages don't fill this gap.
>C pretty much runs anywhere, after all. What exactly does this bring to the table? 1. No, C doesn't run everywhere. I can't compile C to Java, C#, JS, AS, Perl and D. Or compile it to any other language (PHP, Objective-C, Pascal, ...) just by writing 500 lines of generator. Look how huge project Emscripten is: 1 537 390 lines according to Ohloh. But JS generator for Ć is only 457 lines. 2. C# is easier than C. You c…
1. A compiler translates from a higher level language to a lower level language.
2. I disagree. They have the same level of complexity, C# possibly more if you use advanced concepts. And you can write C in Visual Studio...
