The letter "c" does not appear in any number between 1 and 10^27 - 1 (one octillion).

The letter "c" does not appear in any number between 1 and 10^27 - 1 (one octillion).

So, it does not appear at all?

You will encounter a "c" eventually, but it will take a little bit of counting to get there:

octillion
/ (ɒkˈtɪljən) /
noun

- (in Britain and Germany) the number represented as one followed by 48 zeros (10^48)
- (in the US, Canada, and France) the number represented as one followed by 27 zeros (10^27)

Think that in modern British usage an octillion is 10^27 (in same way a billion is now 10^9 not 10^12 as it once was).
