I don't use a ”mailer” (whatever that is), I use Gmail's web interface.

What do you mean ”order matters”? You hit Ctrl and AltGr at the same time
and keep them down while pressing c, don't you?
I'll it right now:
First pressing Shift, keeping it down, then also pressing AltGr and keeping
both down while pressing c: ©
Now, pressing AltGr, keeping it down, then also pressing Shift and keeping
both down while pressing c: ©
Doesn't matter on my computer anyway.
This was tested with my own keyboard layout (Swedish ̣– Johnny Rosenberg).
Now I'll test it with the standard Swedish layout:
Shift Shift+AltGr Shift+AltGr+c: ©
AltGr AltGr+Shift AltGr+Shift+c: ©
Works perfectly (on my computer, operating system=Manjaro Linux, desktop
environment=XFCE).
(By the way, the ”+” sign means that the key to the left and the key to the
right of it are pressed simultaneously, I don't have a clue what the ”-”
sign would mean in this case. A space usually means ”release all keys”,
like in ”ComposeKey o c”, but in the case above it means nothing)

Kind regards
