  • I would tend to agree that it’s likely an aspect of the reasoning for the double circle; a visual pun. I don’t know enough to dispute the Wikipedia article with evidence, however.

    If that is the reasoning, I wish they would’ve done something less ambiguous, like -/c or over-lined 100.

  • Um actually…

    Latin: per centum

    Italian per cento

    Abbreviated to p. cento

    Then just pc with a loop for the o in cento

    Then the fraction bar came around to sub for per, the c became a circle, and % was born.

    (Most of this after the adoption of Arabic numerals)
