You're just confusing French with the IPA :)) . In French indeed, c-cedilla 'ç'
is /s/ before a, o or u. But in the IPA, the same symbol is used for the
voiceless palatal fricative /C/ (the "ich-laut" of German). And in IPA, you also
have a c-curl, indicating a voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative (halfway between
/s/ and /C/).
