Enter the Cent Sign on Windows
The simplest way to enter the cent sign on Windows is with a keyboard shortcut. This method requires you to have either a numeric keypad, which is the number key set to the right of the letter keys, or a NumLock key that you can press to turn on. Hold the Alt key and type 0162 on the numeric keypad or the number keys with NumLock turned on.
Use the Character Map
If you don’t have a numeric keypad or the NumLock key, you can use the Character Map to copy and paste the cent sign.
Enter the Cent Sign on a Mac
Similar to Windows, you can use a keyboard shortcut on a Mac to type the cent sign, but it’s actually much easier: Place your cursor where you want to have the cent sign and press Option + 4
Use the Character Viewer
macOS also has a tool that allows you to enter special characters, signs, and symbols. Here’s how to add the cent sign with the Character Viewer on Mac.
Enter the Cent Sign on Android or iPhone
You can use the built-in keyboard on your Android device or iPhone to enter the cent sign in just a few taps.
