I believe that the c-shapes are the symbol of the moon and the representation of its movement, and it is a symbol that by the time of Voynich must have already been fixed. The logical thing is that, taking into account the phases of the moon, the author also represented the mirror image, but perhaps, as you say, the letter c of the alphabet influenced the setting of the symbol.
In any case, in the Voynich we can see an image in which the symbol of the moon, always with the same shape, surrounds the personified face of the moon

This is probably more of a discussion for the "Imagery" thread than the "Analysis of the text" thread.
I am not convinced that the top image on page f68r1 is a personified face of the Moon, but if it is, what do you see as the lower face on page f68r1 and the two faces on f68r2 and the one face on f68r3?
These same repeating crescents are seen in the upper-left circle on the the Rosettes page. Any comments on what the repeating crescents mean there?
Edit: I would add that personally I think the lower face on f68r1 and the upper face on f68r2 look more like personified faces of the Moon. To me, the upper face on f68r1 and the lower face on f68r2 look more like people. They seem to have hair. I don't remember seeing a personified face of the Moon with hair before.
