The cedilla (ç) is required; without it the pronunciation changes.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil it is very common for cafés to serve coffee both sweetened and unsweetened. When ordering, you can say *com açúcar* (with sugar) or *sem açúcar* (without sugar). The word *açúcar* is often pronounced with a slightly nasalized vowel in some regions, so listening for the nasal tone can help you understand native speakers better.
