Same. I triple check the beginning and the end. Just like I am supposed to when handling money. In cases of many cryptocurrencies, you should focus more on the last characters instead of the first. In terms of Bitcoin, it usually begins with "bc1" (yes, depends) and ends with whatever. Triple check either way. Sometimes I would clear my clipboard and copy paste anew.

Someone invented randomart images to make it easier for humans to compare binary strings [1], but I'm not sure how well they fare against similar attacks.
