Why are you using ℅ ("care of") instead of % ("percent")?

Right, it's easier to find ℅ than % and easy to mistake one for the other.

Holy s*, you guys are right. I've been using this phone for three years and never realized that ℅ is not percent. I always just assumed it was a display glitch that caused the "break in the circle".
