I ended up using the British pound sign three times since all my uses are UK and I've not spotted any plugins that use it. It works in standard tiddlers and those edited with HTMLArea.
I tried the "¬" character but the TW wouldn't even load completely. I don't know why. I tried some multi-character combinations but my early choices were problematic. For example, anyuthing containing the "@" symbol is recognised by HTMLArea as a likely email address component! But the British pouind "£" (not the US pound "#") works fine for me.
