Common Mistakes
⚠️
Mistake: Using c or cents instead of the proper ¢ symbol
Fix: Use ¢ (¢) for cent amounts. Writing "50 cents" or "50c" is acceptable in text, but ¢ is proper for pricing.
⚠️
Mistake: Confusing ¢ (cent) with ₵ (Ghana cedi)
Fix: The cent symbol ¢ has a single slash. The Ghana cedi ₵ has a different design with a double bar.
