How to add periods in between letters in C Programming

I am new to C programming, and I am trying to figure out how to put a period in between letters. This is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>

void CreateAcronym(char userPhrase[], char userAcronym[]) {
int i;
int count = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < strlen(userPhrase); ++i) {
        if (i == 0 || userPhrase[i - 1] == ' ') {
            if (isupper(userPhrase[i])) {
                userAcronym[count++] = userPhrase[i];
            }
        }
    }
    userAcronym[count] = '\0';
}

int main() {
   char userPhrase[1000]; 
   char userAcronym[20];
   
   fgets(userPhrase, 1000, stdin);
   CreateAcronym(userPhrase, userAcronym);
   printf("%s\n", userAcronym);

   return 0;
}

Example Input: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers My current Output: IEEE What the output should be: I.E.E.E.

How do I insert the periods in the printf function so it will output to I.E.E.E.?

Instead of writing userAcronym[count++] = userPhrase[i];, you'd like to add both the character and the period:

userAcronym[count++] = userPhrase[i];
userAcronym[count++] = '.';
