## How the Old English C is built

The Fraktur C comes from the Letterlike Symbols block (ℭ), not the main Fraktur block. It is a single sweeping curve with a spur at the top and a thin hairline that closes slightly at the bottom.

## Easily confused with

Capital C can look like capital E because both have an open right side. E adds a middle bar or tongue; C has only the top spur.

## Where people use it

C is popular for city and team initials and for names like Carlos. Because ℭ is drawn from a different font on many phones, check it next to the other letters before using it in a logo.

## Example words

- Chicago: 𝕮𝖍𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖌𝖔
- Carlos: 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖔𝖘
- Crown: 𝕮𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖓
- Carpe Diem: 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖕𝖊 𝕯𝖎𝖊𝖒
- C.R.: 𝕮.𝕽.
