Despite the late Euro typographical mess, national authorities really do not own the symbols used for their currencies: those symbols belong rightly to the public domain. > 2.

What matters is not what the Chinese Government thinks (unless you are contracting for them, to be sure), but what people who refer to this currency think. My suspicion is that the one-bar-vs.-two is normal glyphic variation, the same as with the $ sign. -- John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan http://www.reutershealth.com Unified Gaelic in Cyrillic script! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang
