I greatly support changing to U+C. C!!!
This is one of bugs I have in my list-o-bugs-from-dumping-quicken in April.
Attached is screenshot to remind those on this list w/o needing to dig
through the app.
As help, here is what I wrote to myself on the R/C topic. Like you wrote,
it needs to be changed in the app and in the documentation/website.
