How does one capitalize a letter with a marking (accent or cedille)?

How does one capitalize a letter with a marking (accent or cedille)?

I chose the c-with-cedille for the beginning of the fourth sentence, but I wasn't able to figure out how to make it capitalized (thus I got it wrong because it wasn't capitalized). How can one do that ?

so to get around the problem, I just press CAPS LOCK on my real keyboard, do the cedilla as indicated in the virtual one, and have to remember to release CAPS LOCK to continue typing. That's the same for À ...

Hope this helps!
