    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.
