More over, two of the four quoted sources are (acknowledged) mirrors of a third. Browsing those pages, BTW, one encounters a couple of currency symbols not covered by Unicode. Most (all?) of them are composable, either by means of letter + slash (OSLI) or by ZWJ (for things like "Pta" or "Pts", if anything), but as said, the symbol "$" is not canonically decomposable. OTOH, "$" looks in most fonts distinctly different from a slashed "S", but the same cannot be said of similarly formed currency symbols. -- ____.
