They should have gone with Clear Line instead of Clear Entry, because CE could also be Clear Everything… which is what clear does.

C or AC = clear all

CE = clear entry

That said, there are variations based on brand and model.

I've definitely seen C and AC on a calculator, where I think the C does what's supposed to be CE

Yeah, some companies seem to be allergic to standards, hence the need for the final disclaimer.

I always spam that ce button.

I just noticed I don't have a hardware calculator...

And the software one I remember about is translated.

I do it a bunch of times for the same reason I also CTRL+C a bunch of times when I need to copy on windows.

I mean that I get since it seems to ignore a single ctrl+c on windows regularly.
