How to get Special Characters (&)?

[gagestinson]

I am very new to LaTeX. I am trying to write up a document for work. I want to make the acronym "P&C" but of course that does not work. I am needing some help with this. Redefining the commands, anything. Any shortcut to get this to work and still have the links and all that work. I know the issue comes from csname but I do not know how to alter that. Any help is much appreciated.
