In Britain, we see potato products with flavours like cheese 'n' onion and salt 'n' vinegar. The 'n' is the word and with the a and the d removed, and each missing letter replaced, as is usual, by an apostrophe.

They do that in India too

But you can do these things too, there is no rule.

Cheese 'n onion
Cheese N onion
Cheese 'N' onion
Cheese N' onion
Cheese & onion
...etc

There is no a2k speller. You have whatever sort of spell checking system is supplied with or downloaded to, your computer.

People taking a particular side in Finland.

He's been told this dozens of times. He just ignores it each time, or maybe it suits him to be awkward, like a kid: "la la la I can't hear you!"
