Abstract: This paper is a continuation of a previous one [L. {v{S}}amaj, {it J. Stat. Phys.} {�f 120}:125 (2005)] dealing with the renormalization of a guest charge immersed in a two-dimensional logarithmic Coulomb gas of pointlike $pm$ unit charges, the latter system being in the stability-against-collapse regime of reduced inverse temperatures $$. In the previous work, using a sine-Gordon representation of the Coulomb gas, an exact renormalized-charge formula was derived for the special case of the {em pointlike} guest charge $Q$, in its stability regime $$. In the present paper, we extend the renormalized-charge treatment to the guest charge with a hard core of radius $sigma$, which allows us to go beyond the stability border $$. In the limit of the hard-core radius much smaller than the correlation length of the Coulomb-gas species and at a strictly finite temperature, due to the counterion condensation in the extended region $$, the renormalized charge $Q_{mren}$ turns out to be a periodic function of the bare charge $Q$ with period 1. The renormalized charge therefore does not saturate at a specific finite value as $|Q|oinfty$, but oscillates between two extreme values. In the high-temperature Poisson-Boltzmann scaling regime of limits $$ and $Qoinfty$ with the product $$ being finite, one reproduces correctly the monotonic dependence of $$ on $$ in the guest-charge stability region $$ and the Manning-Oosawa type of counterion condensation with the uniform saturation of $$ at the value $4/pi$ in the region $$.
