> pay 40℅ tax

Offtopic but I thought your percent looked weird. Turns out, that's the "care of" symbol (℅, U+2105) and not percent (%, U+0025).

Fixed, thanks.

I had noticed something was off when proofreading but I didn't know this symbol and I couldn't explain what I did wrong so I assumed it must have been a graphics glitch.

TIL about the “care of” symbol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Care_of
