Carbon does NOT normally ionise. However, under controlled circumstances it could be made to be C^4+ or C^4- .
NB Carbon is in Group 4 of the Periodic Table. Elements to the left , Groups 1,2,&3. normally ionise to M^+, M^2+ , M^3+ respectively. Elements to the right, Group 5,6,&7 have an electron affinity to form X^3-, X^2-, & X^- respectively. Carbon being in the middle of the period does neither ionise nor have electron affinity.
For bonding carbon catenates ( shares it electrons) to form covalent bonds.

What is the symbol for carbonite?
Carbonite is represented by CO2-2. It is an ion, not an element, nor should it be mistaken for the covalently bonded compound CO2, carbon dioxide.
What is the correct formula for the acid that corresponds with the carbonite ion?
The correct formula for the acid that corresponds with the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) is carbonic acid (H2CO3). This acid forms when carbonate ion accepts two protons (H+) to neutralize its charge and stabilize the compound.
