However, you can cheat the system and use one of the dimensions and then use a translation override to change the display into what you want. For example, if you decide to use mm (millimeters) you could add the translation override: MM="Ct."

I can't find it in the units in the link. when I try to change under: menu Components->HikaShop->Configuration -> Advanced settings. I get this message The weight unit "Ct." is not in the list of possible units : mg,g,dag,kg,lb,oz,ozt,l,ml,cl Last edit: 12 years 3 months ago by [bateman](/forum/user/33158-bateman "View bateman's Profile").

Instead you need to use one of the existing ones and change its translation so that it displays as Ct.
