      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.
