Also let me add that on native segwit and taproot addresses that start with bc1q and bc1p respectively, more than the first 5 characters should be checked.
To even be more on the safer side, it will cost nothing to manually and gradually check through all the characters one after the other to make sure there is no error anywhere in between. It’s better we take extra precautions than to lose hard-earned funds to scammers. Even if it’s time-consuming, it’s worth it.
