Question: What do you call the medical symbol "c" with hyphen on top and its definitiion!?
Its commonly seen in some medical instructions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Doctors still use Latin quite a bit, and the Latin for "with" is "c-u-m", hence the "c"!. The Latin for "without" is "sans", hence the "s"!. Some of the fonts used in word processing and printing come without the little tails, which are called "serif"!. So if you see a font name with a "sans serif", that's what it means!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's just shorthand for "with"Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is "with"
the "s" with the hyphen above it is "without"
Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
