The cent may be represented by the cent sign, written in various ways according to the national convention and font choice. Most commonly seen forms are a minuscule letter c crossed by a diagonal stroke or a vertical line or by a simple c, depending on the currency (see below). Cent amounts from 1 to 99 can be represented as one or two digits followed by the appropriate abbreviation (2¢, 5c, 75¢, 99c), or as a subdivision of the base unit ($0.75, €0.99) In some countries, longer abbreviations like "ct." are used. Languages that use other alphabets have their own abbreviations and conventions.
The use of the cent symbol has largely fallen into disuse since the mid-20th century as inflation has resulted in very few things being priced in cents in any currency. It was included on US typewriter keyboards, but has not been adopted on computers.[1]

The cent sign appeared as the shift of the 6 key on American manual typewriters, but that position has been taken over by the freestanding circumflex on computer keyboards. The character (offset 162) can still be created in most common code pages, including Unicode and Windows-1252:
- On DOS- or Windows-based computers with a numeric keypad, Alt can be held while typing 0162 or 155 on the keypad. See Unicode_input#In_Microsoft_Windows § Notes for techniques involving the hexadecimal code point
A2 - On Mac systems, ⌥ Option can be held and 4 on the number row pressed.
- On Unix/Linux systems with a compose key, Compose+|+C and Compose+/+C are typical sequences.

When written in English and Mexican Spanish, the cent sign (¢ or c) follows the amount (with no space between) — for example, 2¢ and $0.02, or 2c and €0.02. Conventions in other languages may vary.
