      1. Type letter ‘c’ using the text tool, as you’ve already done
      2. Create a new layer from text
      3. Duplicate layer
      4. Transform - flip horizontally
      5. Merge two layers

      It’s a basic GIMP knowledge, really. Don’t forget to add an alpha channel to your layer after step 2, otherwise it won’t work.

      It does! And it’s so easy to use.

      • Draw a circle with the ellipse selection tool
      • From the edit menu choose “stroke selection” and follow the dialogs
      • Remove your selection

      It’s so obvious I can’t imagine why anyone would be confused.

        So it does have what is effectively a circle shape tool. I don’t know why people are saying it doesn’t.
