Which sign is which

¢ is the crossed c of North America. Elsewhere a cent is usually a plain c, as in 99c for the euro. ￠ is the wide form for Chinese, Japanese and Korean text. ȼ is a letter, ₵ is the cedi of Ghana, and ₡ is the colón of Costa Rica. The ready prices, such as 5¢, 25¢ and 99¢, take your own digits in place of theirs.

Tips

Alt+0162 and ¢ carry the same number, because ¢ sits at 162 in code page 1252 and in Unicode alike.
For French text in Canada copy Two cents, Canadian French style: it holds a non-breaking space, so the number and ¢ stay on one line.

Questions and answers

How do I type the cents symbol on a keyboard?

On Windows, hold Alt and type 0162 on the number pad, or 155. On a Mac with the U.S. layout, press Option and 4. With a Compose key, press Compose, c, then the bar or the slash.

Does the cent sign go before or after the number?

After it, with no space, in English and Mexican Spanish: 5¢, 99¢. French texts in Canada put a non-breaking space between the two. A cent amount can also be written as part of the base unit, as in $0.99.

Why is there no cent key on a keyboard?

American manual typewriters had ¢ as the shifted character on the 6 key. Computer keyboards gave that position to the circumflex. The sign has largely fallen out of use since the mid-20th century, as inflation left few things priced in cents.

What is the cents symbol in HTML and LaTeX?

¢ is the named entity, and ¢ or ¢ is the numeric form. In LaTeX, \textcent prints ¢ in text, and the wasysym package has \cent. The wide ￠ has no entity name, so write ￠.
