The particularly perverse one was France, code page 297, with à for @ "at," reasonable enough; £ for # "pound" but the wrong kind; and $ for $ because there was no special sign for the franc (not even a ligature of Fr).
When the euro was introduced, that was really the end of trying to maintain a code point meaning "national currency unit." The new code pages kept the old national characters as is, and instead replaced the *universal* currency sign ¤ with the euro sign. ¬R On Tue, 11 Jul 2023 16:50:55 +0000, Gibney, Dave <gib...@wsu.edu> wrote: >US/Europe centered attitude >$ Currency - Dollar ># Weight - Pound >@ per item - at ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
