On Windows, you have two keyboard shortcuts to add the cent symbol to your documents. Use the first shortcut if your keyboard has a numeric keypad, or use the second shortcut if it doesn’t. A numeric keypad is a keypad with numerical values (0-9) usually found to the right of your keyboard’s main keys.
