I have also seen them after the 'o' character in vowel digraphs, but infrequently.  My own best guess is that the huge majority of c's or i's are part of a nasal or in a syllable with a nasal e.g. im, in, mi, etc.  To me, the single c or i deserves the status of a letter and as a variant of "y" or '9'.
