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.

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

I always spam that ce button.

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.

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

And the software one I remember about is translated.
